Is that all you can do, come up with a completely contrived mock
discussion where you put words in your opponent's mouths?

It certainly is par for the course for you though. Thoroughly
dishonest, highly selective of which facts to present and which to
ignore, and full of bogus arguments and logical fallacies.

In the first place, Gish has absolutely no respect within the
scientific community, just as you have no respect here, because of his
repeated lies and distortions. Perhaps that is why you choose to look
up to him.

Gish's largely trivial career at UpJohn simply doesn't even enter into
the picture, nor does his expertise or training in biology
particularly if he doesn't stick to empirical evidence and legitimate
scientific processes. You seem to also be championing the fallacy of
appeal to authority here as well although, typical of the lying
creationist you are, you are highly selective in what authority you
choose to follow. Now it can't just be because this one, even though
he is in the extreme minority from within the scientific community on
so many issues, just happens to support you own personal cherished
religious mythology now, can it?

What is rather funny and bizarre about your rant about Gish's
expertise is the fact that Gish himself used to accuse other
scientists of not being well informed outside of their own limited
field while simultaneously demonstrating how ill informed he himself
was about so many things. Or was it dishonesty on his part? Sometimes
it is hard to tell the difference. The bottom line is that he had a
well deserved reputation of not sticking to the facts.

P.S. A created universe is an a priori assumption for which there is
no empirical evidence to back it and your own cherished mythology in
particular has plenty of evidence refuting it.
