Sigh. Why are so many of my fellow American Catholics so intent in imitating the scientific ignorance of our fundamentalist protestant brothers?

That such a respected Catholic would go around recycling 20-year-old, thoroughly-refuted creationist arguments, as well as misquoting eminent scientists, is just plain disgraceful. As St. Augustine said:

"Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth...the kinds of animals...and so forth... Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics."

Heed the great doctor's words and stop talking nonsense.

I am not sure how your argument applies to me, nor to my brethren, nor to the articles' author.

Perhaps if you were to share with us *exactly* the nature of our "error," with a solid argument instead of recurring to ad hominems, we might understand your point.
