Says it neatly. There is no good way to deny a thing for which science has accumulated massive amounts of evidence over more than a century.

Science has accumulated evidence; but, not for evolution. Christianity has no bicker with evidence. It's the spin put on it by evolutionists that's at question. Ala "Lucy" - science is good at manufacturing what it can't observe and hiding what it would rather not have observed.

This is just nuts. There's plenty of evidence for evolution and none against.

Christianity is a big thing. Creationism is a little thing, and it has a religious horror of the truth.

It's the spin put on it by evolutionists that's at question.

I say the problem is on the creationist side, and here comes evidence for what I'm saying.

Ala "Lucy" - science is good at manufacturing what it can't observe and hiding what it would rather not have observed.

Appeal to falsehood. The truly contemptible thing about Holy Warrior lying is it's incorrigible; the same Holy Warrior idiots will be back with the same bad pennies over and over and over no matter how often their statements are disproven. There's something sad and pathetic about people who feel both entitled and compelled to repeatedly get caught lying in public about matters anyone can check out for himself.

Lucy is now one (the most famous) of several Australopithecus afarensis specimens. Several others are known. Nothing hinges solely on Lucy anymore. For that matter, the hominid series contains a lot more than A. afarensis. For all that, creationists go after Lucy because she was in Life magazine back in the sixties--a psywar target, an icon. It's all a simplistic dungeons and dragons game, or maybe C.O.N.T.R.O.L. versus K.A.O.S.

"Australopithecines, creationist arguments" from Talk Origins.
