Excerpts from Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds

If somebody asks, "Do you believe in evolution?" the right reply is
not "Yes" or "No." It is: "Precisely what do you mean by evolution?"
That one word evolution can mean something so tiny it hardly matters,
or so big it explains the whole history of the universe. (Ch. 3:
Turning Up Your Baloney Detector, pp. 44-45)

EDUCATION
An Education in Evolution Young people need to take advantage of the
wonderful educational opportunities our society offers, but they also
need to protect themselves from the indoctrination in naturalism that
so often accompanies education. Textbooks and other educational
materials today take evolutionary naturalism for granted, and thus
assume the wrong answer to the most important question we face: Is
there a God who created us and cares about what we do? Young people
need to be prepared for the indoctrination, and for that they need to
know some things that the public schools aren't allowed to teach them.
(Introduction, p. 10)

No. The proper answer is "Precisely what do you mean by believe?"

Isn't it cute, the way the lie machine uses euphemisms such as "Opening
minds" for "Peddling brazen lies".

Did snake oil salesmen ever go away, or did they just "find God"?

OK, where did Jesus say "creationism is science" and "evolution is
religion?"

Or "why is Creationism so closely identified with the "Religious
Right", when Jesus himself was clearly a flaming Liberal?"

So how would you define the evolution of life on the planet earth,
since that is what you are misleadingly referring to?
