Just a little comment here. Perhaps the AiG (whoever that is) is being honest about their bias. I am not saying that others are operating dishonestly (please don't get me wrong). Even tho' the rules of Science are excellent, it is still people who are involved in it. They choose fields to study, they choose how to study it, they come up with the hypotheses, they interpret the data .... I would suggest that every scientist still is influenced by his own biases.

To them, the most important thing is to "bring people into the fold". It doesn't seem to bother them to ignore and distort scientific evidence which is contrary to their interpretation of certain parts of their religious writings as long as people belive them.
They are not interested in the discovery of nature. They are interested in convincing people that their version of religion is true.

As I so often ask my girls, "Fact or opinion?" Schraf, is what you stated above something that you know is fact (verifiable) or is it your opinion?
