This is consistent for AFD, tho -- and for all other Creationists. Their whole agenda depends on convincing people that the more you know about a subject, the LESS qualified you are to speak about it. Thus the often-seen notion that biologists are the LAST people who should be talking about 'origins' -- much better to have mathematicians, engineers, pastors, or retired Air Force pilots. The less education they've had, the more 'objective' they are.
The goal of the religious right is to completely redefine what 'knowledge' and 'reality' are. If they can convince people that the most ignorant people are the best-qualified to make pronouncements on anything, their work is complete. |
But who does he think he's educating by posting here? On PT and ATBC, the posters and the lurkers are aware that Dave's an ignorant idiot. Does he somehow assume that the great unwashed masses start every day by looking at ATBC? Does he somehow think that thousands of educable members of the public are listening to him soapbox?
Even amongst his illogical ramblings, the idea that this is a forum to 'educate the public' is astonishingly stupid.
