Another powerful secret cabal I haven't been asked to join.... Well, when my destructo ray finally works, I'll show them. I'll show them all! They scoffed at my ideas! Now they will bow before my omnipotence! BwahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey RWP, if they're publishing in the NYT, I don't think it's reasonable to conclude this is exactly a "secret cabal."

But if they ever do ask you to "join them," please do have the good sense to just say NO.

Why are you having so much fun, at my putative expense -- with your "destructo ray," etc.? I was not making up any of this stuff.... It's all on the public record, courtesy of the media outlet that prides itself on publishing "all the news that's fit to print."

"all the news that's fit to print."

...and more! (But this fits the prior.)

We are no strangers to the ridicule that Medved endured are we? Neither was William Jennings Bryan - who more than held his own during the questioning in the Scopes trial. In fact, no evolutionist would dare take the stand in that trial. Cowards that they were. Since then, the story of that trial has been twisted to portray Bryan (a principled and intelligent Statesman) as a BUFFOON (read any evolutionists revisionist veersion of that trial for more info). The actual transcript is available for anyone to read and it is in stark contrast to the evolutionist myths. A stereotype has been created (based on pure mean-spirited bigotry) that creationists are buffoons and unscientific (as if evolutionists have a corner on science). I simply don't see that in modern debates between the two sides. Phil Johnson has done a great job of exposing materialists for the the self-refuting philosophers that they are, and people like Lee Spetner have exposed the flaws in the darwinian model.

I wasn't laughing at you, I was free associating. It's Friday afternoon, I'm allowed. Yes, I object to the perennial liberal premise that they're the elite few and we're the stupid many. I also resent any implication that evos gravitate to Dawkins politically. I admire his writings on evolution. I despise his politics.
