Why should deliberately careless distortions of observations and theories to conform to a predetermined belief, and vilifying close-minded defenses of ignorance and absurdity drive people away? You speak as though people are turned off by attacks on human thought.

ab·surd`i·ty n. That which is absurd; an absurd action; a logical contradiction.

E.g., a contradictory non sequitur from the article--"First, there should be a lot more [transitional fossils] if Darwin's theory is correct. Second, 99 percent of the biology of an organism is in its soft anatomy, which you cannot access in a fossil..."
