I have posted my ideas on Talk origins and got no flack at all and I was
arguing for a historical Genesis 1-11. Maybe the problem is not that
evolutionists hate the Bible, but that they hate factual error. The
anti-evolutionists really don't get their observational facts correct.

If he is doing that poorly training lawyers what is he doing taking on
evolution?
By the way, Johnson does indeed speak as a priest of the high church of
anti-evolutionism. And he too gets his facts wrong. I have posted this several
times. Johnson writes:
"By what Darwinian process did useful hind limbs wither away to vestigial
proportions, and at what stage in the transformation from rodent to sea
monster did this occur? Did rodent forelimbs transform themselves by gradual
adaptive stages into whale flippers? We hear nothing of the difficulties
because to Darwinists unsolvable problems are not important."~Darwin on Trial,
2nd ed. 1993,p. 87
Whales are believed to have come from Mesonyx, a Creodont mammal in the order
Carnivora. Rodents have their own order, Rodentia. No scientist believes that
a rodent gave rise to a whale. Johnson's lawyer training is showing. Yet as
one of the High Priests of anti-evolutionism, people in the creationist camp
defend this obvious sophmore level error in his science.

I am disappointed you didn't think that clever. Oh well, you are hard to
please sometimes.
