So, Statler, tell us why the rock record clearly demonstrates a history of over 9,000 species of dinosaurs (certainly a large lineage of animals for Noah to overlook, in fact, they were the most diverse species of vertebrates besides the perciform fish), including over 1,000 species of non-avian dinosaurs, that existed on Earth for over 160 million years if the Earth is only 6,000 years? Did god create these fossils to confuse all of us unbelieving scientists, and if so, where is his fossil factory located? And how did Noah manage the plumbing system on such an ark? Surely he must have been the most inventive plumber of all time.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
