I've noticed this aspect in our opponents as well. I've sort of lumped them all into a "Cowardly Lions" group. They roar, but when it comes to the hard questions, they seem to "virtually" hide. Of course, they claim the intellectual high road. It would be humorous if it weren't so insufferably arrogant.

As to your supposedly "hard questions":

This would be humorous if it weren't so insufferably delusional. For thread after thread I have watched creationists duck simple and obvious issues illustrated with massive evidence, by such artifices as creating impossible and artificial formal hurtles for natural sciences to jump through that are unshared by the general population of natural scientists, and irrational in the extreme--to the point where science would be choked to a halt if we waited around for these absolutist requirements to be fulfilled. Science is an approximate art that simply makes it's best guesses--get over yourselves about it--that does not make it a criminal enterprise, or an arena for fools, your clownish pretensions notwithstanding.

Oh come now! Who is the person that said the following?:

by searching for God's copyright notice in the junk DNA. This bars the usual, and effective, dismissal of ID that apparent design could have resulted from natural forces.

The big problem with your post above though is that you and evolutionists claim that science proves that evolution is true but when cornered and asked to explain how science can show that evolution is virtually impossible you end up bashing science as not really proving anything.
