I watched the video on youtube and read your articles (thanks for pointing those out to me) as I am always interested in seeing things from different angles otherwise how can people learn and form their own opinion.
I do not dispute the fact that there are some charlatans in the mix, some people that like to distort information so that the average layman can not understand it and goes along with it.
This happens on both sides of the fence as when I mentioned the 'piltdown man' that scam went on for about 40 or so years and yes, there are a lot of people on the creation side of the fence that also twist information.
I do not believe that we should 'tar and feather' the scientists that twist information just for the sake of their own good and I also do not believe that we should do the same towards the creationists that do this as I condone violence of any sort. If they want to twist information then that is up to them, it is a free world (mostly) and people can do and behave as they choose (within reason)

Many of the Cambrian fauna, still survive today, all looking much like they did over 500 million years ago. British evolutionist, Richard Dawkins, comments, "... We find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history."
Even George Gaylord Simpson had to admit, “In spite of the examples, it remains true that most new species, genera and families appear in the record suddenly, and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences.”

As for frauds being on both sides of the fence, one must learn tollerance and yes, they will be exposed no matter who they are over time, though that said, you may notice that I am a little calmer in my approach towards exposing them and also a little more respectable towards other peoples views.

There is a reason why you can not find where I said this Atom
It is because I never did...
My statement still stands and that is that from what I can see, macroevolution is not fact, maybe one day it will be, maybe one day it will be disproven but until then, I am happy reading both sides of the argument open mindedly and not resorting to pulling down anyones belief system, be it the creation or evolution path.
