He approvingly cites the 'bombadier beetle' argument, for crying out loud!
Complete with the lies that:
1. A beetle would blow up if the explosion occurred in the beetle...when that's how the expulsion force is generated.
2. The two chemicals explode when mixed...when catalysts are needed to force a rapid reaction. In the lab, they just slowly oxidise and turn brown.
3. That inhibitors exist, but none have been observed.
These IDist need to do their own research, instead of quoting quotes of another person's reference to Gish's own assertions, who himself poorly translated some 45 year old German papers on the beetles.
