As the Panda's Thumb said, why don't they just give up?

It's a good read actually; you'll like his conclusion.

Basically, he is admitting that the evidences point toward the ToE rather than creationism. But still decides to say creationist, for some reason...

In order word, he is in very severe denial.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Hmph. If Dr. Wise spent as much time honestly studying his science as he does perfecting his hyperbole, he'd not publish such trash.

But it is a little amusing, he whines about creationists not having the tools to do the studies, yet many of the big-name, creationist organizations are quite wealthy enough to acquire them.

For those who might not know who this goober is, I've put in a link,
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Patrick Wise is an American young earth creationist with a degree in paleontology from Harvard University where he studied under the supervision of Stephen Jay Gould. As a result, he is said to be influential on "modern creationism as it is practiced at its higher levels."[1]

"If only we could impeach on the basis of criminal stupidity, 90% of the Rethuglicans and half of the Democrats would be thrown out of office." ~~ P.Z. Myres


"The default position of human nature is to punch the other guy in the face and take his stuff." ~~ Dude

That is quite sad really, he seems like a smart man that could have enriched our knowledge if not for his religious indoctrination.
