In situ
in vivo veritas
I was kind of hoping to get to the HOW first.
YEC does not care if their exists a deeper explanation or not in what they say and claim. As long as it sound good to say and the explanation to explain why it is wrong is to long and complicated to be easy understand, or can be further misunderstood, then they will keep claiming the very same thing over and over again.
My favorite example is when the YEC ilk Jonathan Sarfati in an interview in an Aussie TV show claimed that Dawkins uses "bait and switch technique" when he goes from "micro" to "macro" evolution - again the claim is based on redefining what science actually means with things. It is very easy to make claims like Sarfati does but it takes a lot of time to explain why they are wrong (or as I suspect Sarfati does here - just lying to himself, i.e. using deceite and self-deception, simply because he does not what the opposite to be true).
The acceptance of these kind of claim is always based on either ignorance or conceptional confusion or both.
The funny thing is that people think they are able to judge and understand, and in particular be critical, on scientific theories without having any deeper education on the subject in question...it is like knowledge and education does not count at all...
