To: Right Wing Professor
They peppered Dr. Durkee with questions about everything from techniques for dating fossils to the second law of thermodynamics, their queries coming so thick and fast that she found it hard to reply.

I firmly believe that questions on the theory of evolution should be aired - but it should be done in a polite manner.

On the other hand, evolutionists are rarely polite to creationists, so whining about how they are being treated is sort of like little Jimmy whining to mom because his sister hit him back.

They will be when the creationists bring forth supportable, meaningful scientific arguments. The article states someone was using the "2nd Law of Thermodynamics" argument. Even prominent creationist/IDers say not to use that argument anymore. It has been thoroughly debunked. Yet IDers persist.

IOW, scientists aren't always polite to people who are wasting their time.
