Creation Moment 3/8/2014 - Disciples Of Darwin Tactics 1,2&3

“Science in schools,” took aim at creationists, and the Discovery Institute (not a creationist organization, an intelligent design organization) in particular, on the occasion of Eugenie Scott’s retirement (5/09/13) from the National Center for Science Education or NCSE (not an education organization, but an anti-creationist organization). 
Beyond the usual talking points
(e.g., evolution is science, creation is religion; Kitzmiller;
the bandwagon argument all scientists accept evolution),
the editors suggested three things scientists could do to keep up Eugenie’s fight against Darwin skeptics.
1. Make evolution appear non-atheist.  The editors applauded Eugenie Scott’s tactical coup in removing the words “impersonal” and “unsupervised” when the US National Association of Biology Teachers described natural selection that way in a statement. 
2. Build coalitions.  This strategy is vague enough to allow Darwinists to appear conciliatory while insisting their view is uncontested. 
3. Perform outreach.  The third strategy is for scientists to get out and interact with the public more often." CEH


Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,
while the evil days come not,
nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say,
 I have no pleasure in them;
