"The problem, Kent, is that it is more usual to find someone declaiming against evolutionary theory who IS in fact ignorant, and whose love of sweeping generalizations, and various violation of logic, does make them look idiotic."

I think that what Kent and I are trying to say it that this statement cuts both ways. It's just that those who think they "believe in science" are more unaware of their ignorance -- and tolerated for their more mainstream ignorance.

In these discussions, I consistently find those who say they believe in evolution (meaning that they don't believe in creation) stating things that show that they haven't the foggiest notion of what evolution implies or where it leaves them.
