I'd say 'deluded' we be far more accurate.
He thinks he's got the best explaination out there and he seems thoroughly convinced that none of us are right or even close. Either because we don't understand science or we don't understand his 'infallible logic' when all he is really doing is filling in the answers without really answering the question. The exact same way you'd write random numbers in for a math problem that no one quite understands and he's telling us this is the simplest and most logical explaination and we're all wrong for saying that we don't honestly know the answer but science is still working out the problem.
That's basically how this is all going.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church.

Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
