Giving oxymorons their due
You mean to say the idea is a 'contradiction in terms' or 'logical contradiction.' You are asserting its invalidity on the basis of fatal self-contradiction.
'Oxymoron' does not mean this. The term refers to a paradoxical-sounding label for something that really does exist. The label sounds self-contradictory but it works. Everyone knows what it means.

Glass houses
You'd think fraud would be the last subject a creationist would want to bring up...

Art is not Science
The Bible is not science. It is art.
What does the word Bible mean?
It means 'book.' What's a book? Literature. What's literature? Art.
What does the word Scripture mean?
It means 'writing.' What's writing? Literature. What's literature? Art.
It is a mistake to treat art as science. The result will be bad science and bad art.

off-topic: diagnostic term for psychological disorder
Pardon the digression, folks. I have no idea why this subject came up, but as long as it has and we have a lull...
RevDG:
by the way they call it MID, multiple identity disorder, rather than multiple personality disorder
I'd like to know your source for this, DG, so I'm up to date. The last time I saw an APA definition (DSM-IV) it was called Dissociative Personality Disorder. This would have been six or seven years ago.
That was a new designation with the fourth edition. The APA wanted to discourage the popular misconception that the disorder represents multiple personalities in a single body. It's a single personality, of course, that has fragmented itself into compartmentalized personas. None of the personas comes close to acting as a complete personality.
