They'd fit right in at any KKK meeting.

I get Bourque's point: It's frustrating for science to be stymied by creation myths.

But the subtext (clearly understood by 100% of the commentors on the article) is: "Fuck your land claims, lewzers! You stole the land from the people before you, so we were well within our rights to steal it from you."

No idea where Bourque stands on that. He's presenting this as a purely scientific harm. But there's no question where his readers land.
