If only you had suggested which one...anything to do with mturner smacks of Humor, but I guess maybe RRP would be a better place to fume about ARNies.

That said, mturner is in many ways representitive of the ARN/IDistas. I found that mturner's intellectualism is very shallow. I first thought that his strange references to works that did not make the points he claimed was the result of a faulty understanding. I learned that he continues to refer to books that he did not read. And, when pressed, he refuses to read the very books that he claims to support his very idiocentric positions.

He knows no science to speak of, and refused to learn any. Thus, he is an example of one appex of the ID support triangle. He opposes science because he doesn't care for what he thinks science is about and imagines himself a bold, independent thinker.

The other corners would be the YECs such as Douglas, and pseudoscience proponents such as Mike Gene. The professional advocates of ID are just a step outside their supporters.</strong>
All off-kilter loons of one stripe or another, I agree.
