A little arrogant?

He is just quietly confident that the Lord won't hold against him his repeated pretence of knowledge of matters of which he is wholly ignorant. Also his failures to withdraw statements shown to be false. After all, he does it "in the name of the Lord", so how can it be wrong?

It is great really, posters like DannyTN probably recruit very effectively for those of us on the side of mainstream science because any lurker with half a brain can see the intellectual bankruptcy of his postings. In a tough field of barmy lying arguments coming from Young Earth Creationists citing Conan Doyles "Lost World" as a peer-reviewed scientific publication has to be one of the finest ever bloopers. Only someone who is totally ignorant both of science and popular culture could manage that one.

What gets me is the lack of self-awareness and complete lack of self-criticism that comes shining through. If I'd perpetrated a howler like the Conan Doyle thing I'd never feel able show my face in FR again, yet Danny blithely keeps on posting, apparently utterly unaware of how bad he makes his religion look.

I missed that one so I went Googling but didn't find it. I did find creationistanswers.net which had a review of Jurassic Park in which they stated that it actually supported the YEC hypothesis!

"The Bible says God will restore things on Earth in the future to something similar to the original creation. Whether dinosaurs will be a part of that is unknown, but it will be a world where the lion will lie down with the lamb and children can play with cobras."
