Just got home from work. I knew the damage control would be in full swing.

Yes, the anti-evolutionists are in full swing. Those of us conversant with mainstream biology, on the other hand, are just amused.

I am happy to see you've considered my previous posts "substantive"

You have *really* got to work on your reading comprehension. No, that's not what I said.

although from the comments I've received in response, one could scarcely form that impression.

Perhaps you might get a clue from that fact.

And having noted the frequency with which frevolutionists engage in cheap shots and spiteful one-liners, I can hardly confess any guilt over mine.

It's hardly "cheap shots and spiteful one-liners" to accurately describe the behavior of the anti-evolutionists and the abysmal quality of their "material", although it is true that such frank assessments will be less than complimentary.

Seriously, Dave, when we call anti-evolution efforts "idiotic", it's not a "cheap shot", nor "spiteful", it's objective review. If that bothers you, get your cohorts to increase the quality of their material. We're tired of trying to educate them on a subject they're dead-set on remaining ignorant about, or filling their heads with Things That Just Ain't So because they find the false propaganda more comforting than the things they're afraid they'll find in the science journals.
