That's why we know that g3k is a fabrication made by an evolutionist to discredit ID and creadionism.

This seems to be working fabulously. All of the other creos pretend that there's nothing wrong with his posts.

They have no choice at all. It's absolutely taboo, heretical, off-limits, and verboten to interfere in any way while another servant of the Lord is fishing for souls. This is true no matter what a travesty he may be making of the endeavor, no matter how discrediting his efforts may be to the cause. They have to grin, bear it, and pretend that eau de septic tank is perfume.

There must be no cracks in the facade. Problem is, the strategy actually makes for plenty of cracks.

LOL! This wouldn't be so funny if it didn't happen just a few days ago over at the CARM EVO board. Someone who was an evolutionist signed up under the name "CriticalEyes" and pretended to be creationist. He was pretty convincing, especially to the other creationists, although his claims were rather preposterous and his logical fallacies pretty numerous. Nevertheless, many creationists supported him and even defended him against criticism from evolutionists.
However, it were not creationists who unmasked him but some evolutionists, to whom his claims appeared a bit too outlandish even for a creationist. After they uttered their suspicion that he may be a troll who only poses as a creationist he admitted this.
Of course this wasn't the end. After a few days he signed up again under the screen name "PReece" and the whole spiel began anew: evolutionists trying to explain evolution to him and pointing out logical fallacies and creationists defending and backing him up. And again it wasn't a creationist who exposed him.

Sure, there was a lot of moaning and groaning going on among the creationists and they accused the evolutionists of being dishonest (and that this must have something to do with evolution; of course he was also criticized by evolutionists) but all this doesn't divert from the fact that creationism is indistinguishable from its parody.
I think some creationists are still quite embarrassed because they supported him.

Here are two threads that discuss this: Yes, I'm a troll and Message to PReece....
