As anti-evolutionists evolve, they strip down the principles of their
beliefs.

By Chris Mooney
Web Exclusive: 11.16.05

There's an anti-evolutionist brushfire sweeping the United States, and
at its heart lies a paradox.

These days, it seems, the less the
creationists say about what they actually believe, the better they're
likely to fare. In an attempt to avoid triggering the First
Amendment's ban on commingling church and state, the more canny of
today's fundamentalists have become clever minimalists.

Rather than discussing anything immediately recognizable as the
Christian God -- much less the Bible -- they invoke "science" itself
to undermine one of the most robust scientific theories in history.

"invoke 'science' itself"
Belief in spontaneous generation, blindwatchmaking, and mental
spoon-bending is scientific.
