Quote:Refuted claims? I don't think anyone has refuted my claims of mine to date.
It's rather arrogant of you to sit there and lie about who is making these claims that you apparently claim are yours, particularly since none of them are your claims. These are claims that have been made by creationists for at least 150 years, and have all been refuted during that time. The fact that in order for you to continue to make these long-refuted claims is that you have to throw out every scientific finding that has been made in the last 150 years just makes you look stupid to the rest of the reasoning world.
"even the evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin said, ‘We cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door’"
And do you know why he said that? He said it because "God did it" doesn't explain anything.
"So you are suggesting the Christian is lying?"
I have yet to meet or have a discussion with a creationist that doesn't lie (ladies and gentlemen, I give you the creationist (Statler) who claims that certain oopart drawings in Asia represent "recent" stegosaurs).

"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!
