RE: [asa] http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution

Unfortunately it is not only the YECs that have deceived themselves and are deceiving others with their evolution bashing.

This guy at the link below is the latest biologist to throw his hat in the ring with Fuz to make a fool of himself and bring the intellectual integrity of RTB down to the level of that of AiG.

In spite of continued, repeated, patient and clear instruction on the details of psi GULO and its implications on evolution, they insist on sticking their head in the sand and parroting the RTB party line back about function which simply just shows that they are incapable of understanding the logic of the argument. They are in denial and think their responses are enlightened and smart. It is reinforced by the personality cult of RTB volunteer apologists acting as an amen corner for them. It is tragically embarassing and the reason I decided to no longer be a part of them.
