I have no idea what motivates one to be such a thing, and he's certainly not a scientist.

And yet he is a defender of science. Interesting.

I too taught a seminar course a couple of years back. It was called The chemical basis of evolution,... Half the class dropped after the first meeting, when they found they'd actually have to learn some science.

Why? It's not like you required any math. Anybody who can tie his own shoes can do that stuff.

I can name quite a few "defenders of Christianity" who have made incredibly rude and nasty comments, not to mention outright lies. Interesting?

You think so, huh?

Why don't you pull up, say, 20 sequences of one particular ribosomal protein, say s7, from 20 different and widely separated organisms, and cosntruct a maximum parsimony tree. Post it here, and I'll tell you how you'd have done in the course.
