Here’s a quote that infuriates me:

Fish come in a bewildering variety of forms that defy consistent classification. As a result, there are competing classification schemes based on the particular bias of the classifier. (Source)

I’m really sick of this whole “worldview” crap that Creationists are constantly spewing. Yes, people are affected by their biases, but they are not the bottom line in science. This quote makes me picture a guy saying, ” Well, my daddy raised me to believe that Polypterids are Sarcopterygians, so that’s how I classify them.” But wait, there’s evidence that bichirs are more closely related to Actinopterygians than Sarcopterygians. “That’s your opinion. This is just how I was raised.”

Sorry, Ken, science doesn’t work like that. The people at Answers in Genesis either can’t comprehend that, or won’t admit it to themselves because they’ve invested so much of their lives in bolstering a disproven claim that they can’t let go of because it would shatter their faith.

Stumble it!
