Schraf,
The post you mention looks like rhetoric and invective to me, not gibberish. I think it manages to use words that address nothing of substance.
I'm not saying Satrekker has a biology degree, but from what I can tell, bias and wishful thinking carry a lot of power over even educated people. Maybe I underestimate the effect of a college education, but I think an educated, biased person could easily have written that post.
About 20 years ago, I went to a class at a Baptist church on evolution conducted by a Chemist. He presented the whole "the odds are against it" argument, complete with adding up all the amino acids it takes to make a protein and ending with 10 to the 200th power, etc. He said, "the same evidence that convinces me the earth is old also proves to me evolution couldn't have happened." He was definitely a professional chemist, working for the defense department.
