Ping me if you get an answer to that question - or one that makes some sense anyway. I keep hearing about all the great scientific work being done by creationists but all I ever see are ill-informed or mendacious commentaries on what real scientists are doing. Cheers.

Just like when I post the 14 points all I get is misdirection and avoidance but no answers.

But when the science does not support you “hypothesis” that is all that you have

"I keep hearing about all the great scientific work being done by creationists but all I ever see are ill-informed or mendacious commentaries on what real scientists are doing."

When not attacking the scientific messenger the tactic taken by Less (GodlessGunlessGunless and his ilk) is to post or quote from an article that disassembles a legitimate scientific paper with the following methodology:

- Cite a phrase or nugget out of context,

- Follow it with a disingenuous summarization preceded by "the data suggest" or "the evidence hints"

- Further mischaracterize the original cited nugget with a classical "if" statement

- Conclude that the article actually supports YEC by a nonsequitur "then" conclusion.
