The Oliver Kamm Challenge

Following his intervention in the Michael Reiss affair (an intervention unsurprisingly regarded by Harry's Place as the end of the matter), I hereby renew The Oliver Kamm Challenge.

Since he does not understand the terms of the debate, and since it would be beneath him to read any book not written by himself (and then gloriously torn to shreds in a review by Neil Clark), Kamm, who refers to this blog from time to time on his own and so clearly reads it, has repeatedly accused me of "Biblical creationism". Well, he obviously doesn't know what that can mean, either. But I do know what he means.

Therefore, I challenge him, if he has such an aversion to "Biblical creationism" within his understanding of the term, to explain why he has been such a devoted supporter of the "Biblical creationist" George Bush, and why he remains a positively fanatical supporter of the "Biblical creationist" Tony Blair, who even (and not least when Milly the Princess Presumptive was his Schools Minister) handed over chunks of the state education system to bodies and persons overtly and forcefully of that view, at public expense.

Over to you, Oliver...
