It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out his game plan.
And he has the knack for trying to change the meaning of what he posted before when he's proved wrong. Like in this thread where I mentioned the creationist idea of the speed of light changing drastically, and he claimed that wasn't something creationists claimed. When I proved him wrong with numerous links, he claimed it's not what creationists claim now. Which if that's what he really meant, he could have mentioned that in his initial response.
He is going to have to explain what he means by "now" because I've had that very argument with them in the past two years. Now, unless there was some sort of creationist symposium this year in which all the players agree that their claim was bogus, then I think it is safe to assume that he is lying.

"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!
