I only read a little, but here's another example of a guy making stuff up to support his ideas, such as: -vast scientific conspiracy to cover up Creation. -the animals in Eden were incredibly complex, and carnivores with sharp teeth are an example of loss of genetic information after the fall. This not only doesn't really make a lot of sense, but it does not support the fixed Creation concept...it's actually dangerously close to evolution. -he insists that animals with very strong specializations, such as anteaters, are the result of natural selection, that animals better suited to prey on certain animals -- since they had to, suddenly, once sin entered the world and suddenly some animals were no longer herbivorous -- were more likely to survive and pass on their genes to following gnerations, and this is natural selection, but NOT evolution because the proto-anteater did not, say, turn into a fish. An affirmation of evolution, but a denial of what evolution actually is.

No offense to Christianity, but anyone saying that people who believe in evolution are causing a vast conspiracy against them are just plain paranoid. They just want to freely believe in what they believe, just like the Christians want to. Sheesh.

In scripture, Jesus says that Christians will be persecuted. And they were, for a long time. Fundamentalist Christians like to believe that they still are being persecuted, and so construct conspiracies.

That's true. They do, even though they aren't, and they have a HUGE say in what goes on in the country.
