You guys are one trick ponies. You can’t answer the arguments, so instead you try to shift the debate and get everyone arguing about hidden agendas and conspiracy theories...LOL!

One trick?

No trick. They watch the sunrise, and expound on how evolutionary it is.

Indeed. Citing the Wedge document is a red herring. That said, the Discover Institute's wedge strategy is real. It is no "conspiracy theory". The DI clearly has a theistic agenda, but to call it "hidden" is quite a stretch. The document in question states openly that one of the DI's governing goals is to "replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God".

The article itself doesn't really contain any objections to Steve Mirsky's (valid) proposal. Should we continue to regard the chihuahua as a subspecies of Canis Lupus, even if it seems unlikely that any number of one larger C. Lupus constituents would ever produce offspring with such without some sort of unnatural prodding (flowers and fine wine, of course)?

Instead of producing a valid objection, the author of this article insists on employing an overblown football metaphor and waving his arms around screaming "Goalpost, goalpost!" It seems to me that he hopes that his very incredulity will somehow stand in for an argument.
