The Questioning Librarian

There is no satisfying the creationists, it seems, nor making them see reason and logic, for these are apparently concepts with which they are unfamiliar. http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-answers/features/never-assume?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=neverAssume First of all, they employ the familiar tactic of conflating evolutionists with atheists, when this is demonstrably not true. I refuse to argue it any more, but they hope that it comes to be perceived as true if they repeat it enough. Jason Lisle argues that in using reason and logic you assume the existence of God because He created reason and logic. This shows exactly that Lisle has no grasp of the concept, as he's just demonstrated the idea of circular reasoning. The author also makes the false assertion that evolutionists believe in absolute moral standards that should not exist in a world supposedly created by chance. Certainly a roomful of "evolutionists" wouldn't agre...

"Dr." Jason Lisle, the token astrophysicist at Answers in Genesis, has devoted much of his career to explaining how stars and galaxies that are several million or billion light-years away are actually visible to us in a creation that is, in their view, six thousand years old (which means that we should not see stars that are further than 6,000 light-years away). As though a Ph.D. astrophysicist prostituting himself out to Answers in Genesis wasn't bad enough, Lisle now has an article up which asserts that Darwin, and all evolutionists, are "unwittingly" creationists. http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v4/n1/darwin-creationist He asserts that, in order to argue against creation they must first assume it is true. Wait, what? So, in Lisle's view, relying on the principles of logic to do science proves Biblical creation? If that doesn't show the good doctor's poor grasp of logic, then I do not know what will. Let's take another example...
