I'm well aware of the fact that neither I nor anybody else is going to convince hardened evolutionists of anything, that's not the point here. The point is that C.S. Lewis was right in saying that, above all else, the devil cannot tolerate being mocked, and the world needs to learn to laugh at the theory of evolution, and comprehending that it requires trillions of years and only has a few thousand or tens of thousands at most, as as good a place to start as any.

IOW you don't know what the subject at hand, you can't defend your position, so you use some random quote from a non-scientist to make what should be a scientific point (and within the realm of religion and Christianity I have great respect for C.S. Lewis). And that you actively are working with the devil in spreading his main trade: ignorance. Willfull ignorance at that! His favorite!

I can probably come up with a good Ghandi quote -- does that mean I win the thread?
