Great idea. Might keep him occupied for a while.

And we can see if he’s as good with a highlight pen as with an eyeliner pencil.
It occurs to me that the reason why @Meerkat_SK5/@RTBsupporter’s current impersonation of RTB is so blatant is closely related to why their efforts (both previous and current) are so unsuccessful.
Whilst I have a very low opinion of pseudoscientific apologetics, be they from Kent Hovind, Answers in Genesis, RTB or Discovery Institute, I cannot help but acknowledge that these organisations, in order to be successful in their field, have had to successfully identify a receptive target audience, master tailoring their material to maintain their audience’s receptiveness, and successfully promote their material (often including having sufficient academic contacts to get the occasional article inserted into mainstream journals).
Meerkat on the contrary has no idea as to who a potentially-receptive target audience might be (they do not have ‘a snowball’s chance in hell’ with mainstream science), and no idea how to tailor their material for such an audience, even if it could be found. This can be seen from how little interest they have garnered from the ‘design’ creationists on this forum.
So when somebody comes onto here and onto Biologos, claiming to represent RTB, seeking our help with something that RTB is already competent to do for themselves, we would have every reason to be suspicious. When the material proffered has far more in common with Merrkat’s previous gibberish than with RTB’s offerings, those suspicions are confirmed.
