The reality stated in Behe's words is quite clear: Evolutionists give no
clear answer to questions about life's real origins, because it's impossible to
answer these questions in terms of evolutionary processes and random
stages of development. For this reason, they ignore their deficiencies and
continue to perpetuate the Darwinist spell. They fill their publications with
irrelevancies, decorative illustrations and Latin words that have nothing to
do with proving evolution. In this way, they obscure their explanations of
basic subjects and trust that they have deceived people.
Method # 7: Darwinists resort to every kind of
rhetorical device to get people under their influence
As we have often pointed out, one of Darwinists' main characteristics
is their skill in rhetorical demagoguery. They are very deft in their use of
language and word games. It may seem as if they are saying a lot, whereas
they are actually stating nothing of substance. In spite of the hours they
spend in their conferences, they cannot utter a single word to substantiate
their theory. They aim to make people believe them by releasing an
avalanche of complicated words and explanations, thereby creating the il-
lusion that what they say follows along scientific lines.
Darwinists go into detail about geology, genetics, medicine and other
areas that have nothing to do with the basics of evolution. They discuss
these issues at such length, in such a weighty manner that they put their lis-
teners into a stupor. They insert evolutionist explanations into subjects that
have nothing to do with their theory, creating the impression that they are
actually relevant to their topic and support their propositions. For instance,
they deliver long-winded speeches about recent developments in genetics.
But in what they say, there is nothing to support the theory of evolution.
Despite this, they end their articles or lectures by saying, "You see, the sci-
ence of genetics provides important evidence for the theory of evolution,"
in this way, giving the impression that genetics corroborates evolution.
