Or: How to Lose an Argument While Thinking You’ve Won It Every attack on evolution from a religious standpoint follows the same path. Not broadly. Not loosely. Mechanically. Different authors, different platforms, same manoeuvres. Same misunderstandings. Same end point. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. The argument ceases to look like reasoning and
