Creationist trashing science

I've been reading creationists trashing science since the mid-1980s and no new arguments ever appear. BananaMan Ray Comfort is just another sad and hapless denialist in a long line of science deniers.

Will You Read Creationist Take on Darwin's 'Origin of Species'?

I would not. It is pointless as the creationist agenda is not to educate but rather to suppress creative thought and scientific investigation.

The people behind pushing creationism are simply trying to dumb down their followers in order that they keep sending money rather than asking questions.

Ted Haggard being the perfect example of a man who preaches one thing to the congregation in order to get their money whilst doing another.
