Here are some examples copied from the baloney detector.
- Creationism (emphasis on the suffix) is a ploy by fundamentalists to push their religious agenda and brainwash our children.
- “Intelligent Design” is really stealth creationism.
- Densely-packed loaded words from Michael Ruse (July 2002): “Why should science journals give space to intelligent design (ID) or any other crackpot pseudo-theory, manufactured to cover the nakedness of biblical literalism in scientific dress to get around the U.S. Constitution’s separation of church and state?
- Horatio Hockett Newman, 1932: “There is no rival hypothesis except the outworn and completely refuted idea of special creation, now retained only by the ignorant, the dogmatic, and the prejudiced.
- Dudley Field Malone at the Scopes Trial: “We do not fear all the truth they can present as facts. We are ready. We stand with progress. We stand with science. We stand with intelligence. We feel that we stand with the fundamental freedoms in America. We are not afraid. Where is fear? We defy it!” Turning and pointing a finger at William Jennings Bryan, he cried, “There is fear!” According to a report, “the crowd went out of control — cheering, stamping, pounding on desks — until it was necessary to adjourn for fifteen minutes to restore order.”
- You don't know anything about science. (However, they define science as presupposing Atheism in the form of Materialism and Naturalism.)
