In many ways evolutionary psychology has as much relevance to my life as theism does; which is to say, I get enough trivia in my life already.

That's a lot of guesswork you packed in there. Also, evolutionary psychology? No, he's an evolutionary biologist, and his evolution-based arguments take up about a page in a half in the entire book.
But if you're more comfortable with setting fire to straw men, don't be surprised when someone torpedoes one of your arguments, as I have several times in this thread, using arguments he brought up in the book. Which ones? It doesn't matter, because according to you, the guy's probably a fucking douchebag anyway.
