What is your source?
...Jeremy Bernstein prefaces his review of this book in the WSJ...
I suspect you got that quote from some website (maybe even the Wall Street Journal). How about a link to the source?
By the way, I'm going to put that quote in a quote box, rather than just having it enclosed in " marks.

Why need God be brought into the discussion?
Panda did the PNT review for me:
Panda writes:
I am having problems with John 10:10's claim that "the Jeremy's of this world" reject a divine creator.
The linked review of an autobiography of 2 scientists makes no mention of how Jeremy thinks the universe was created.
John 10:10 writes:
No, the problem with the Jeremy’s of this world is that they will allow themselves to consider mutation as the reason why life could evolve from the first life form to where we are today, but totally reject the truth that only a Divine Creator could create the universe and all life therein, and only a Divine Redeemer can sustain His creation.
This seems completely unfounded - Jeremy has not made any statement regarding his belief in a creator. And there is no intrinsic problem with believing in evolution and not believing in a god.
Perhaps a request could be made to clarify what John 10:10's assertion is based on and how it is problematic to believe in evolution but not in god?
I would ask "Why need God be brought into the discussion?", and "Why do you find that the acceptance of the random mutation concept is a denial of a creator God?".
Your response?
