Aw c'mon.
At this point it looks like you are doing a bait and
switch, I am sure not intentionally. Who's he talking
about? Is he talking about rank-and-file YEC? I
don't think so. Glenn, what say you? Walter, if
Glenn says not, will you suggest an appropriate word for
Glenn to use so that y'all don't go around in circles?
How about Banana-sellers?
As to your point about Dawkins, I am not sure I get it.
The public perception is not correct just because it
is a majority view. Anyone who thinks they can read
a pop-science book and get a working knowledge
of the subject is wrong. You have to supplement it
with say a textbook or journal articles from that field.
This seems like a very simple point to me, very easy
to understand, and my and your first reply to someone
who says "why should I accept evolution and its Prophet,
Dawkins" should be "why don't you check out an
evolutionary biology textbook from the library and
start with that instead?". Goodness, anyone who
is asking the first question clearly doesn't know what
she's talking about and needs to do some more research!
