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

So, as long as nobody does or says anything about what these unethical people are doing, they are free to wreck the science, which is their purpose anyway. Are you alright with that?

Well, I am saying something about it. What would you like me to do other than point it out and ask readers to think critically about it? I'm not going to pitch a hissy fit because some guy said some questionable stuff in a creationist mag on the internet.

What I'm going to do is point out errors- and strengths- and hopefully help any interested parties learn something about genomes and about reading papers about genomics.

And they're not wrecking science. They're not even a blip on most scientists' radars. They are expressing free speech in their own journals, which nobody but fundies (and me, apparently) read anyway. If their audience can be convinced by this stuff, then I am at a loss as to how to help them.

If you think I should be getting all aggrieved at Statler Waldorf, then we're going to disagree on that. He did what I asked him to do, and I have no illusions that I am going to change his mind. It's an interesting look into a different mindset for me, not a mission to change him.
