A second tactic is to ignore science entirely and cast the argument as a theological one. The claim is made that evolution is a religion or ideology. This is a surprisingly effective tactic. In the mind set of the ideologue ideology is pre-eminent over reality. Thus we had aryan science and jewish science, people's science and capitalist science, creation science and evolution science.
Truth is a matter of having the right beliefs.
Right beliefs will point you to right science. War is Peace. Freedom is slavery. Shit is shinola. An advantage of this tactic is that it works even with people who are not true believers.
