[Phaedrus]

...the massing evidence from paleontology, genetics, zoology, molecular biology and other fields gradually established evolution's truth beyond reasonable doubt.

When a Scientific American article opens with a sweeping, bald-faced lie such as this, then the rest of the article may safely be assumed to be a worthless polemic, not science.

Attacking Creationists is a political act, not a scientific one, and it should be well-noted that the politics are Leftist. True science takes no political position.

[Phaedrus]

The argument here is firmly based upon authority, the "authority" of Scientific American. But if the argument itself is built upon lies, then the article becomes a testament to the emptiness of that authority and only fools will listen.

Exactly. I can't help but laugh when I see these pseudo-intellectuals like Patty Henry, Dimensio and Jlogajan come on these threads, attacking people, calling names, ranting and raving and cursing the skies all for their arch-nemesis the dreaded "Fundie" aka "Creationist". They claim to be scientifically minded rationalists, but their rhetoric and behavior betray their claims. You and maybe two other people who frequent these threads are genuinely intelligent, rational people. I'm happy to see people disagree, it's so sad that most people can't do it without acting like five year olds.
