Glenn asks:

<<If it is wrong for anyone to distort the evidence then why when I find a
case of Christians maybe doing it, do you immediately point out the fact that
evolutionists do it? >>

Because I believe in balance. In the classroom, on the reflector, and in life.

You make this case against creationists. Fine. It needs to be made. But the
fact is evolutionists do the same thing.

And this fact needs all the more trumpeting because, as Phil Johnson cogently
shows, we have an "established religious philosophy in America," and it ain't
the biblical one. It's always open season on creationists. Consider me a
Cosmic Game Warden.

Personal note: Thanks for the apology. We're always walking that line, and
I've crossed it before, too. I've got a good New Year's resolution, I think. I
like the vigorous debates. It's been a good year on the reflector.

Have a merry Christmas. Maybe Santa will leave a transitional fossil in your
stocking this year!
