By the way... Kofahl got his PhD in Chemistry at CalTech(!)
It's hard to believe it, but it's true.  

His big contribution to the creationist cause was an article that
he wrote in which he tried to show why a certain beetle's defense
mechanism (it squirts out a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and
quinone which explodes (as I recall)) could not possibly have
evolved naturally.  His arguments are refuted in a recent issue
of Evolution/Creation.

It now appears that the creationists have realized that their
theories do not fit into the realm of science. So they want to
redefine science in such a way that they will.  It seems to me 
that they're trying to ride on the shirtails of the public's
perception of the integrity of science.  A sloppy way of proving
your point, if you ask me...
