C. S. Lewis once commented (and I paraphrase) that Bible detractors often put up a childes perspective of the bible against an adults perspective on that teaching to which they are comparing it. Not surprisingly, the Bible then comes up lacking.

To borrow your statement: this isn't directed at you, but I'm using it as a springboard. Lewis's statement also applies to evolution detractors, who often seem to be stuck on Mr. Garrison's (South Park) idea of how it's supposed to happen rather than a true understanding of the theory. Not surprisingly, the theory then looks ridiculous to them.

It looks so ridiculous to normal people that the cultists rely on the courts to enforce their views so it won't look so ridiculous.
