Were you expecting him instead to just parrot the usual macro-evo talking points and validate the prejudices of the secular science establishment?

Not at all. (FWIW, you can see my position on the topic at this thread.)

My problem is with the article itself. Flickinger doesn't really present any compelling reasons for including "the other side" other than his own disdain and disbelief. It's not an effective approach.
