DI in disarray? demoralized? Who in the world has the author been talking to? I don't get that sense AT ALL!

I don't know about "disarray," but there is a certain desperation to the movement, after getting caught in an ill-advised end run around the Constitution.

There's a reason creationists haven't come out against the series of lies told in the name of their cause, after all. We don't yet know why that should be so, but I suspect they're so short of allies they can't afford to drop any, not even the perjurers and crooks.

True as far as it goes, but there are other motivations as well. People who attack evolution in the name of religion on these threads are "witnessing." There is an acknowledged tradition of not criticizing "witnessing" pretty much no matter how bad it gets.

That's just another problem with mixing religion and science.
