Once again you have me perplexed. I simply cannot work out whether you are the most mendacious person alive, or the most stupid.

Presumably, if liberals blurring the distinction between abiogenesis and evolution is so prevalent that it is responsible for “many people” confusing the two, then surely you can provide us with at least a couple of examples in places where people might have been likely to see them, and thus influenced by them.

I mean, a claim about influence, especially on a national scale (which is what you’re making here), should at least be able to turn up a _little_ bit of evidence in the historical record, surely? I don’t even expect the evidence to come from the scientific community. I’d happy if you could provide some from “around here and on television talk shows or elsewhere in public discourse.”
