"he is well versed in science but none of the areas of expertise or interest have a bearing on evolutionism . sounds like an own goal to me."

But you have no scientific qualifications whatsoever, you silly arse!! So, by your reckoning, you're not qualified to take part in the evolution vs creation debate at all!

And if you really wanted to know about evolutionary biology you would read something other than crackpot creationist websites. There's lots and lots of books out there - want us to supply you with a reading list?

And if you didn't understand the subtleties of the no absolutes/not absolutely sure 'joke' - then there's no hope for you.

Oh, and by the way: "Why should I believe the account of 'creation' that is written in the Bible rather than the reality revealed by modern science?"
