Yes, except he keeps confusing the Theory of Evolution with the origins of life and the origin of the universe. Basic mistake, quite common. But it reveals a pretty profound ignorance.

Hardly. The distinction is as gratuitous as that between "choice" and abortion. What it reveals is a rejection of said "distinction."

Nonsense. What you're describing are two words for the same thing, with the word choice determined by which side of the issue the speaker takes. Though the words are very different in tone, they both describe the same thing. "Choice" is merely soft-peddling the word "abortion."

The origin of life and the Theory of Evolution are two separate scientific fields of study. To not understand that is to be ignorant. To deny that is to be dishonest. I don't know which of the two this guy is, but it doesn't really matter. Either way, he has given us ample reason to discount what he says.

Why don't creationists take issue with gravitational theory? After all, that doesn't address the origin of matter. If they were consistent with their objections, they would have to fight as hard against the work of Einstein as they do against the work of Darwin.

That they do not speaks volumes of the real agenda.
