Yes, the blogs are all abuzz discussing Dennett's book. There are also lots of other websites discussing it. (Many linked to in the comments at Jeffrey's blog) I'll simply not link to them all but the Right Reason one is interesting.'

Over at <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2006/02/buttars_bill_goes_down.php" rel="nofollow">Dispatches from the Culture Wars</a> discussion of the bill came this excellent response to Buttar's comment of "there are a number of influential legislators who believe you evolved from an ape. I didn't." The response? "Better 6,000,000 years removed from apes than 6000 years removed from dirt." LOL. Which of course doesn't really address the LDS "literalist" perspective. But is still funny. (I put literalist in quotations since I think with the JST the question of literalism is much more complex and doesn't necessarily entail the more Protestant conclusions) BTW – related to the Buttars bill controversy.
