I think you better do what most "groupthinktanks" find necessary. Banish your critics like P.Z "randomly ejaculating" Myers, Richard "blind watchmaking mountaineer" Dawkins and Wesley "boy fisheries biologist" Elsberry all do when confronted with the truth.

If anyone is interested in some real evolutionary science I recommend -

I read it, John. You sure make some elementary mistakes when it comes to describing evolution. For example, you say, "Is evolution finished?" You do understand that evolution is not goal-directed, don't you?

yeah well, i'm not god so you don't have to believe everything i say....

(and what happened to "when she says no she means yes"?)

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Boy, I'd love to cherry-pick your bible, if you know what I mean.
