. I had better say up front that I am only familiar with George’s work . . . in a sketchy and secondhand way

But hey, that won't stop me from writing an article criticizing his ideas

There are two reasons why George’s ideas, as presented in this essay, are a tough sell. First, he loses biologists right away with his Creationist patter. Second, George’s Discovery Institute and his Center for Science and Culture don’t discover things and don’t do any science.

None, of which have anything to do with him being right or wrong.

Creationists seem not to be aware of how central evolution is to modern biology.

Probably because it is not

There are worse things than being wrong. There are ideas so bad they are not even wrong.

Boy, talk about selective quotation! Derb criticizing an article of George's which he DID read. He is explicitly NOT attempting to criticize the whole of George's work. You are quoting his disclaimer out context.
