Please stop posting dishonest rehashes from creationist resources. This makes you and your position look all the weaker. Why not go directly to the multitudes of sources wherein the good Mr. Patterson himself explains how those quotes were a)rhetorical questions, b) out of context, and c) are easily explained.

Once again, I'm constantly amazed at the level creo's are capable of stooping to! C'mon already!

Well sir, it appears to me that the quotations from Ready2Go which you called "lies" are nothing of the kind. Nor were they out of context.

The letter (posted by general re)from Dr. Patterson which discusses the speech retracts not one sentence; he merely expresses regret that there were creationists present. I think its safe to say that Dr. Patterson did not consider himself a "creationist" but then that is not the point.

I think the point is that the Dr. expresses serious concerns about the state of evolutionary science and asks hard questions. Which is as it should be. That's my understanding of what scientists are supposed to do and the good Dr. demonstrates a great deal more intellectual honesty than is often apparent on these threads.

Does this make him a luddite, a moron, an idiot, a liar? Or are the hard questions reserved for those on the inside of academe? Afterall you must keep the peasants in their place if for no other reason than then they'll want the good parking spots.
