Never Overestimate the Intelligence of Your Audience!
- Remember that your target audience (mostly Americans) has the approximate attention span of a 3 year old, due to being raised on television and video games! They pay more attention to flashy graphics, bright colors and snappy sound bites! So use that to your advantage!
- Your target audience also probably hasn't read that much about evolution. Or if they did, it was from a boring science teacher in a class they had to take. And they never liked it anyways, because it says that they came from a chimpanzee. ...Which means it's OK to make stuff up as you go along! Just go ahead and ad lib it! Go ahead and repeat things that the evolutionists told you is wrong, because your audience won't know... and won't care! So when the evolutionists scrambles to correct everything you've said, they'll look awkward, defensive and bumbling to the audience!
- Your target audience probably doesn't care about elitist gobbledygook such as "logic" and "fallacious arguments", either.
- Always mention obscure critters like the Coelacanth, because it sounds like you know something (a-HA!) about SCIENCE! And then when the evolutionist tries to explain away with excuses about the coelacanth being an ORDER of fish instead of just one, and that it lived in the deep ocean and therefore had no need to evolve legs... well, most of your audience will get bored with the nerdy explanation and aren't going to listen. Score a point for you!
- Use quotes by real scientists, taken out of context to make it sound like they doubt evolution! Remember, your audience's attention span is so short, they probably aren't going to bother to read the entire book or research the real context of the quote!
- Recite “scientific” papers and make sure to linger over the sciencey-sounding jargon. Make generous use of finger-quoting and sarcastic tone of voice. But after that, declare with authority that the evidence is consistent with Noah’s Flood!
EQ Matters!
- Be affable and charming. Get down on the audience’s level, tell jokes and anecdotes. Let your audience know you’re on their side, and that no bad ol' scientists are going to tell them that they came from a MONKEY!
- Be smug and condescending at all times. This is a great public speaking tactic that will bless you with a following. Because it radiates CONFIDENCE! People LOVE confidence!
- GUILT! Attach "God" to everything, including all the Bibly- sounding ideas you made up last week, so that whenever an evolutionist questions your idea, you can accuse them of hating God! This will also make you more immune to criticism!
Repeating Makes It Right!
- Repeat: There are not now, nor were there any ever transitional forms.
- Repeat: No one ever witnessed a cat giving birth to a dog
- Repeat: Lucy was just a chimpanzee. Archaeopteryx was just a bird.
- Repeat: Evolutionists think life came from rocks.
- Repeat: Piltdown Man. Piltdown Man. Piltdown Man.
Etc.!
Copying, Co-opting, Hijacking, Plagiarism and Outright Stealing!
(*Because let's face it, we haven't really had an original thought in 2,000 years!)
From its very beginnings, these practices have been a time-honored tradition in the Creationist world.
- Co-opt all the things that made kids interested in secular science, especially DINOSAURS! Kids can't seem to resist dinosaurs, which are kind of the 'gateway drug' to secular science. So we got to head them off at the pass and herd them into our direction -- of course by making sure that DINOSAURS were indeed a part of Biblical life!
- Co-opt the slick graphics and editing styles of popular secular science shows such as Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Use their production cliches as much as possible. This will no doubt make people think we're really serious and hip about SCIENCE!
- Co-opt all the things evolutionists accuse us of. They called us indoctrinated. So we call them indoctrinated. They called the Bible "fairy tales". So we call evolution "fairy tales". They criticize "blind faith". So we say evolution is "blind faith". They call religion "dogma". So we called them "dogmatic". They accused us of “hijacking” their tropes. So we accuse them of “hijacking” ours. Et Cetera, Et Cetera! It's so easy!
- Co-opt the rebellious attitude of youth culture, to make it sound "cool" to rebel against your science teacher. Remember, we probably sound cool and new to a 17 year old who wasn't around 75 years ago when our way had been the status quo for centuries!
- Co-opt the successful tactics of FOX News and the Republican Party, such as name calling and playground politics!
- And for the coupe de grace, accuse the evolutionists of copying creationists when they accuse us of copying them!
