Creationists have flawed reasoning full of fallacies
Despite relentless efforts by creationists to obscure the facts, the religious underpinnings of intelligent design remain painfully obvious, particularity to anyone capable of discerning the difference between a firmly established scientific theory and mere opinion, personal philosophy or empty religious assertion. When creationists attempt to undermine evolutionary theory with various fictions, myths and deliberately obtuse misunderstandings, the transparently religious and fallacious mindset at the root of intelligent design is made especially clear. The recent error-ridden opinion column by Kerby Rials, "Intelligent design makes sense, complexity of life not accidental," (SN 6/20), offers a nice example. In my experience, hostility toward evolutionary theory invariably stems from ignorance of the scientific evidence or strong religious beliefs usually both.
