The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old

It is inexcusable for any scientist to misrepresent the work of another, much less their own work, no matter how informed they are about their field of study.

Of course. This behavior is par for the course in the ID movement, so it's no shock to find it here. And he's doing it somewhat subtly here- for instance, claiming that degenerate telomere regions in a fused chromosome will be a big shock to evolutonary biologists, when in fact that's already a well-known (and expected) fact about this region of the chromosome.

I'm going to evaluate the science in these regardless of any dishonest tactics, though.

To me, that makes his behavior unethical and should be subject to sanction.

Who should sanction him, since he's not part of any system that could revoke his tenure? I don't know for sure, but I can guess that this journal does not have a lot of knowledgeable scientists on staff to peer-review him, so sanction by refusal to publish when he appears to be their only real geneticist would be unlikely.

The 2 papers I have read very well would never pass peer review for a scientific journal, and it's not because of bias against YEC.

If I appear to be blase about the dishonesty, I suppose it's because given my experience with ID creationists, I expected such behavior, and I don't think it much matters in the grand scheme of things. It will not impact any working scientists- it will just annoy them.
