Re: ?????????????
If you look at the AIG article there is many more such silly statement. From the referenced article Darwin's Bodysnatchers
they add...
US evolutionists were also strongly involved in this flourishing 'industry' of gathering specimens of 'subhumans'. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington holds the remains of 15,000 individuals of various races.
Note the use of the word sub-humans as a typical AIG characterisation. That is not what the Smithsonian says, it is what the spin doctors at AIG say.
But does the Smithsonian have 15,000 individuals? Most likely. They have mummies, cadavers, collections of bones and skulls. Surprised? Not really. That is what a museum does. Is that Bodysnatching? Only in the perverted imagining of AIG.

Re: ?????????????
The blatant sort of intellectual dishonesty seen at sites such as AIG seems inconsistent with traditional Christian insistence on truth and honesty.
More to the point, it negates any Fundamentalist blathering about "absolute morality". Fundamentalists are as Postmodern in their selective use of information as any moral relativist. They see "control of the facts" as an ideological tool. Whatever protestations they make to the contrary, they aren't interested in, and can't handle, the truth.
