192. comparing bad science to bad science is offensive?
If you secular fundamentalists could prove such a mysterious contention, that would be genuinely interesting.

That's the first time I've read that phrase in an ostensibly left-wing context. I'm open to an argument for Creationism or the Infallibility of TIA, but blaming secularism for his shortcomings in the reality department has a certain historical resonance.

But, heck, I'm not complaining. Just exposing the vacuousness of your mindset.

So you mentioned, without any supporting evidence. I suppose you'll tell me one geneticist believes genes were created in Genesis, and therefore TIA doesn't have to take any of those stats textbooks literally. You're entitled to your beliefs, but your feelings about the Loch Ness monster are about as relevant to the scientific debate you can but allude to.
