More thieving bastards

Pharyngula has unearthed a nice little creationist rip-off, this time by The Other Side.

Lying, stealing, and misrepresentation are common creationist values, I guess—Allah must endorse theft. They have no intellectual merit that they can contribute, so they have to resort to pilfering from evolutionists. Although, maybe we can justify it by comparing it to a starving man stealing a loaf of bread: creationists are so scientifically impoverished that they have to steal data. Does Shari’a accept that excuse, or is poor Harun Yahya going to have to get a hand lopped off?

I’m not going to give the Living Fossils site, which is what PZ is talking about, the benefit of a link. Go read the whole thing.

For something you care little about, Jer, this God stuff is surely taking a lot of your time.

You’re absolutely right, Mac. Four of my last 60 posts have been on the topic, and leaving aside the fact that one gave the Catholic church credit for something sensible, that’s clearly far too many.

Forgive me for not paying attention properly. I guess the words “thieving bastards” made me make a mountain out of a very small mole hill.

Forgiven! Perhaps you missed the original post of that title? Here.

Of course, I should not assume that everyone has read everything … Forgive me.
