Hey WaPo, mere journalists mentioning math and analysis?

I’m not even close to defending the Creationists - but good grief, we STEM types have a phrase: “What do you call our F students? Journalists.”

Please do something within your meager capabilities - like writing about low-IQ entertainers, “liking” idiots on Facebook and giving us humorous idiocies on Twitter.

The author is apparently not just a "mere journalist":
Jerry A. Coyne is a professor emeritus in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. He is the author of “Why Evolution is True” and “Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible.”

I was initially a double major: engineering and biology. I was well within the top half of the top one percent of college-bound students, with two science and five math scholastic awards. My IQ has always tested well above 150. (I was incidentally voted Most Intelligent in my senior class.)

I’m not even close to defending the Evolutionists. It is a belief system, and not a convincing one.

Evolution is primarily treasured and protected for its philosophical implications.

I generally leave these threads alone, but since you were being gratuitously - and disingenuously - condescending, I am making an exception.

The truth is that numerous Evolution skeptics and/or ID scientists are not Christian Creationists.

The vaunted advocates of skepticism do not permit serious skepticism of their Hypothetical Sacred Bovine Antecedent.
