It looks to me as if WildTurkey took betty boop's earlier offer to "root out evil" as a playfully worded but sincere offer to help get some inaccurate/dishonest creationist sources to correct their falsehoods, if some examples could be provided which need correcting. That's also how I understood her post. You are most gracious, Ichneumon, to step into this fray! Looks like I owe WildTurkey an apology, despite the fact that by no means was I trying to "trick him" or make him look like a fool. It was just a light-hearted moment.
FWIW, I can get just as torqued off by certain claims that "creationists" make as you or WT. In my case, I think it is ill-advised (man, am I gonna catch HAIL for using that word!) to read the sublime language of the Holy Scriptures literally, as if the Book were no more than a "how-to manual" or "textbook."
If WildTurkey would like to, we can start off fresh. If there's any particular statement of the anti-evo crowd to which he particularly objects, we could start there. Then we can all jump on it!
Thanks again, Ichneumon!

Fair enough (er, doesn't that sound a little familiar?) OK. Tough job. I gave you a list. Where do we start? I do believe, though to be successful, we will need more than just you to assist in this endeavor.

Thank you for the great post and challenge, betty boop! And thank you, Ichneumon, for being the peace maker. WildTurkey, I apologize for losing my patience with you.

I'd be glad to contribute, if I have anything useful to say.
