I don't know what "invective" you are talking about but there is plenty of condescension in your oww original post.
Consider this:
quote:
3. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. It's a bit late, so I'm not going to elaborate. A rudimentary understanding of physics, I hope, will render this citation self-evident.
Do you REALLY beleive that practically every working biologist lacks even a rudimentary understanding of physics ?
The fact is that you are citing a complete falsehood while dismissing even the possibility that it could be wrong.
