An author can make a flub, but where was the editing? The fact-checking?

The author says he wanted the low-down, so he went to the ID side and talked to one guy. That's apparently how you get the story on a controversy.

He didn't understand squat. He came back and wrote it up. The editor looked at it, said, "Man, I don't understand all that technical stuff but that's heavy!" and rubber-stamped it to go.

If he'd talked to ANYBODY else and showed them what he had from his Meyer interview, that person would have said, "Bud, you've confused organs and organisms."

It takes an above average IQ to make so many mistakes in a published article.

Of course there's the Mary Mapes comeback. We are just a drunken mob of hateful bloggers, and ID is the truth even if its arguments make no sense.

"Bud, you've confused organs and organisms."

Wonder how well he can play an organism--ewww that came out wrong:).

I'm used to hearing one side of the issues presented, being a teacher in all--but that's off the subject.
