I wonder if people who say things like, "the conclusions of modern science are not to be trusted" fly in airplanes? It seems to me that flying in an airplane requires an awful lot of...um...faith in modern science, if you'll pardon the word. I also wonder if he takes medicine, uses a cell phone, drives a car and, on the whole, enjoys the, oh dear, "fruits" of modern science. I don't think you can have it both ways. If modern science has so botched the job with evolution, then surely airplanes shouldn't fly, nuclear bombs shouldn't explode, and I shouldn't be instantaneously transmitting my thoughts halfway across the continent on my slick new laptop...which just happens to be an Apple :)
