Because biologists - indeed all scientists - have allowed a cult of Darwinism to dominate the
academic literature with easily proven myths and lies about Patrick Matthew (started by Darwin) they have created a niche for claptrap to flourish. A. N Wilson's book - at least what he reveals about it here (ahead of its release) and in the Times - proves he doesn't even understand what the theory of the process of natural selection actually is. Hence, he conforms the Dysology Hypothesis:
"Letting scholars get away with publishing fallacies and myths signals to others the existence of topics where guardians of good scholarship might be less capable than elsewhere. Such dysology then serves as an allurement to poor scholars to disseminate existing myths and fallacies and to create and publish their own in these topic areas, which leads to a downward spiral of diminishing veracity on particular topics."
