I pointed out that what was said was not even remotely true.

Can you defend the comment?

And yes, scientists routinely point out that Creationists don't know much about science (or much of anything, as the more educated one is the less likely they are to be a creationist), and when creationists try to talk about science they usually get even the basics horribly wrong.

The truth, it IS a tactic. And a rather effective one.

Maybe she did not express her words just as you would like but she had two good articles there to back up her ideas.

While you have nothing here but your claim about being ‘a relative’ and channeling Dawkins with your creationist strawman.

The evolutionists have been all over the place with their origin of man from baboons, the chimpanzee, the orang-utang, or the gorilla, and more lately some mythical pre-ape creature.

the modern scientific establishment has bound itself to a single system of interpretation, with myriad variations but one bottom line: evolution is fact, and alternatives must be rejected out of hand. Thus the tenets of evolution have become a matter of faith, the foundation of a worldview where random chance is the organizing principle and survival of the fittest is the highest law.

And like other systems of belief, it has its clerics (those invested as scientific authorities), its adherents (e.g., the education system and the media), its mission (to apply its "truth" to every sphere of human endeavor through research in the fields of biology, geology, cosmology, psychology, etc.)--and, of course, its heretics. Enter the evangelists of evolution, troubleshooters who step in to defend the evolutionary community from "the ignorant, the stupid, or insane."
