David Sloan Wilson certainly got a warm and appropriate welcome here. His first post was titled Science as a Religion that Worships Truth as its God, a phrase that purées together both "religion" and "science" with "truth" as a wickedly wielded whisk, and immediately set a number of people on edge…

Be ready. This is exactly what you can expect if any of the creationists engage with you.

Gotta be tough putting back a rock you flipped with a crowbar.
Gruebait: Unless the crowbar is not so much for flipping over the rock as for dealing with what is found under it.
