This post by PZ Myers over at Pharyngula talks about the new (I think) website, The Darwin Conspiracy. Now it is hard as hell to tell a legit religious site from a satirical one, so I'm just going to assume that it's being serious.

So in that case, what the bloody hell? I may not be a biologist (yet!) but it pisses me off like nothing else when creationists make up all these ridiculous claims about evolution and biology. Who is out in the field collecting data? Biologists. Who is interpreting the data? Biologists. Who actually studies biology for a living? You've guessed it, biologists. And yet we have creationists, not making any contribution to anything, not predicting anything, not giving evidence for an alternative theory, trying to undermine all of the hard work biologists do. It's ridiculous. It's way beyond ridiculous, actually. It's downright pathetic. One wonders why these creationists also don't try to undermine the theory of gravitation or even germ theory. I also find it very ironic that people who deny evolution are products of evolution themselves (hell, everyone is; everything is) In that light, it would make more sense to deny germ theory.
