Right, so when he asks questions, such as:
"Are there any evolutionists who have published worked in creation peer-reviewed journals? "
You think it is a genuine question , right? Zazzy, there are no peer-reviewed creation journals. It's a red herring. Creationism is not a science. It is a religious belief. Don't believe me? Ask the Supreme Court.

"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!
