Actually at the ICR (the source of most of the drivel) I find a variation on Argument by Authority.

“This respected scientist did this research, and it supports our cause.”

The problem is that every respectable scientist whose research is referenced absolutely does not agree with how it is used by the YECs. The recent one with the fossilized mummy showed this perfectly, as the scientist was a devout Christian who took offense at the misuse of her work.

Evos use that argument all the time. They are in no position to denounce it.

You mean every liberal secular humanist respectable scientist.

Christian scientists don’t have multiple hang-ups to sue people to keep God out of His own creation, let alone the scientific discussion.
