This actually makes me angry.

Today I read a blog post by Casey Luskins in which he lies his creationist titty ass off. As I’ve said before, Win Ben Stein’s Integrity makes fun of Richard Dawkins for saying that the only way Intelligent Design could be true is if space aliens, who themselves had evolved, had seeded earth with the first life.

Dawkins responded to this ridicule with an op-ed, saying basically what I said before, only better.

Now that the truth is out there, Luskin tries to deny, or at least de-emphasize, the the things his colleagues have said. How does he try to prove that Dawkins is wrong? He googles a phrase from Dawkins’ op-ed, “For all we know, the designer might be an alien from outer space.” With quotes around it. Let me repeat that. WITH QUOTES AROUND IT!!!!

I can’t include a picture of Luskin in this post, because I am at work, and Luskin is A GIANT EMEFFING TIT.

Luskin thinks it’s telling that he only gets one search result for his query. But Dawkins wasn’t quoting anyone specifically. He was merely showing the kind of thing ID proponents say!

The truth is that ID proponents often say things like that. Especially William Dembski. They have to, otherwise they’d be confused for creationists (they are). What can I do when I catch someone is such an outright blatant lie? All I can do is tell you people. And email Casey.

Casey,

In the blog post [in the subject line], you clearly misrepresent the truth, or you just don’t know how to use Google. In any case, you should probably watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j_SD1EgcUI

Or read this: http://www.discovery.org/a/1283

Or read Dembski’s The Design Inference.

Or stop lying.

There was another option I didn’t suggest because I didn’t want to be considered part of the The Machine. And that option is to shut the hell up.

 Edit: Casey responded to my email, and actually called me out for accusing him of lying, as it is a serious thing.  And he’s right. I apologized to him by email, and even though I don’t think he’s read this post, I am apologizing here for the things I said about him in this post and in the comments.  I don’t think it would be right to take it down, since I said it and have to own up to it.  But from now on I will be endeavoring NOT to make fun of him.  But I still do think he’s wrong and have more than an inkling that he’s not being completely honest.

Stumble it!
