Creationism isn't antievolution, it's antiscience. If we continue to allow the creationists to pretend that the debate is between God and evolution, we could very well lose this battle, even with all the facts on our side. For whatever reason, many Americans have a strongly negative emotional response to evolution. Fortunately, they have not similarly stigmatized other scientific disciplines. Therefore, we should be stressing that the claims of creationism are  not only refuted by evolution, but also by science generally; geology, astronomy, chemistry etc. You can actually get widespread support for an antievolution movement in this country. However, I don't think you'd get much support for a movement that's broadly antiscience. But that's precisely what creationism is, and we have so far done a relatively poor job of making people aware of that.

It is not too difficult to understand The Family's admiration of Hitler and Facism.

When one reads R. J. Rusdoony's Institutes of Biblical Law and Hitler's Mein Kamph it is easy to see R. J. saying the same thing as Hitler, sometimes word for word.

One of the roots of Christian Reconstructionism is Facism!
