I started writing a post responding to David Klinghoffer’s three-ring circus attacking me:

evolutionnews.org

Then I checked our stats for his posts, and realized that by debating this deluded person, I’d only be driving traffic to the Discovery Institute blog. So far today, we have 35 hits from the DI site.

And I realized why most genuine scientists have concluded that debating these people is a complete waste of time. They lie without shame, because they know that refuting the lies will send their opponents on wild goose chases, and waste massive amounts of time and energy.

Debating these luddites only gives them publicity they don’t deserve. It’s the creationist hamster wheel, and I don’t feel like climbing in.
