Colson has a point. However, I disagree with your
comment that "they had no choice" and Colson's final
point that evolutionists would lose if they debated.
Many creationists have used politics for a
long time. (I do acknowledge that as far as I
can recall, you have at least kept to science,
so I make sure to say "many" but not "all".)
At any rate, for the science community to stoop
to the same level as many Creationists does a lot
more harm than good to the issues that are at stake.
However, I think rather than having "no choice", they
made a very poor choice and are now setting a poor example
of how to stand tall in the face of certain unreserved and
bombastic politicians.
by Grace alone we proceed,
