The 'modern evolutionary synthesis' versus 'Darwinism'

Sure. We can call it a ploy. It seems horribly ineffective. That’s the confusing part. Ploys are supposed to work. If they dont work, you abandon then. So why hasn’t he abandoned this?

As already pointed out, it doesn’t work with the scientifically literate but the scientifically literate are not their target audience. The “Darwinism” subterfuge is trying to sway the opinions of religious believers who are not scientifically trained. Sadly the scam does work on a not insignificant number of scientifically unknowledgeable people.
