You seem to be making an argument here against statements made in a particular book, and provide a lot of quotes, but not quotes of the specific statements you are arguing against.
That’s not an entirely bad thing. Addressing a specific text is better than addressing an imaginary statement of your opponents position, a straw man. But it can still amount to weakmanning, which I think is your complaint.
