Casey Luskin Lies about Dawkins

 
I know, I know, so what else is new?

But this lie is so outrageous that it just has to be exposed. Over on the Discovery Institute website, Casey Luskin gloats over the famous video where Richard Dawkins pauses for 11 seconds when asked to give an example of an evolutionary process that increases information in the genome [Richard Dawkins on the Origin of Genetic Information].

The explanation for this pause is well-known. Dawkins had just realized that he had been duped into giving an interview in his house by creationists from Australia. The pause was to collect his thoughts after realizing the dishonesty of the interviewers. He then asked that the cameras be turned off and he asked them to leave. You can see the video and read the essay Dawkins wrote on dozens of websites [see Creationist Delusions about Transitional Fossils and Information].

Casey must know about this. He can't be that stupid. Therefore, he is lying.
