Your freshman biology course has long since been outdated. Did you perchance check out his references???
Sorry, I couldn't handle going any further than trying to deal with his tortuously flawed logic in search of support for his premise. At some point, the reader has to call it quits in indulging flaky science (this includes other pseudo-intellectual foolishness like global warming practitioners, as well as “creation scientists”). Sorry to lump those two together as I am a great advocate of the final goal of the creationists, but their preference for results before research are mutually consistent with the Enviros, and intolerable for folks seeking simple things like truth in both the physical and supernatural worlds).
I just wish the CS’s wouldn't embarrass the evangelical movement with their shenanigans. They make watching their efforts, like attending a pie fight. The effort can't be taken seriously, and they damage their cause more than they have the ability to understand. It's like street theater, the method is not to be taken seriously. I just wish it was otherwise.
