They don't care. They want to share their "faith" with anyone who wants to join the effort to stop science teaching in our schools.

Oh, I understand too well what they are doing. What appalls me is their willingness to embrace Full Monty dishonesty in order to accomplish it. This latest case of plagiarism is but a trifle in the litany of bogus, manipulated, and out-of-context quotes used by anti-Evo/anti-science fanatics to misrepresent scientific thinking.

Their list of rhetorical tricks is unmatched. Sometimes, I even fail to see them. I have one guy on another thread that posted some kind of Science article talking about a mutation in Drosophila. I think he added a sentence to it at the end, to make it seem scientists are concerned about deleterious mutations in the population.

I keep trying to explain that if it is deleterious it won't be selected, so no worries. But he calls me stupid in various ways, thinking,I guess, the audience will think he is beating me in the debate.

That is why it is necessary to get fairly nasty with these
"Christians".
