I took that article seriously for two days, until I noticed the date.
I have a good excuse for having been fooled.  In early March our local
paper published an article written by a local creationist (and a
university professor) fully as bone-headed as "Gish's" article.  Not
being familiar with Gish's writing, I have no way of knowing whether
that prank article was in his style or not.  And, on the grounds of the
above evidence, an education is no guarantee that a man is not a fool.
Some creationist arguments are straw men already, even before anybody
has had a chance to distort them.
