Nonsense. There are many posts on these threads denying the evidence for evolution. He demonstrates the falsity of these claims. Then people whine that he presents too much material. Boo fricken hoo.
2) The assertion that they alone can judge what is science and what is not science. The scientific method and science is of philosophy.
Sorry, but the molecular biologists, anatomists and palentologists display a *much* better knowledge of "the scientific method" that the creationist/ID types on these threads, who are happy to ignore this method and rewrite the laws of physics, thermodynamics etc when their particular understanding of the bible.
4) Refusal to debate intelligent design proponents.
a) Should they debate astrologers also? They have just as much scientific evidence.
