The title of this article is obviously ridiculous. Science has not built its understanding of the modern history of mankind on the work of one crackpot. Science doesn't move forward based on one or two observations. Findings must be replicated by scientists from various parts of the world using their own equipment and measurments etc. Furthermore peers review the findings with a healthy skeptical eye.

Creationists don't understand how science works, only a creationist would ever think that science would have to be changed based on identifying one guy as a fraud. That's how I know a creationist wrote this headline.

So no creationists understand how science works? Pretty broad brush, don't you think?

You don't know anything of the sort. In fact, the Guardian is a leftist newspaper populated by secular leftists.

The word creationist has a specific meaning. It refers to those of us who believe that God created the Universe. It is not a curse word, it doesn't imply Luddite and it is not synonomous with ignorant. Just as the left has attempted to dehumanize unborn babies with terms like "just a fetus" and "blob of cells" so the science community is attempting to paint "creationists" with a broad brush.

I would hope you don't jump on that bandwagon.
