Why do so many creationists and intelligent design apologists lie so much to support their cause?

Watch ‘Design vs. Chance’ by PZ Myers, AAI 2009 46 minute lecture and see if you agree with his explanation of it. It seems strange for the most aggressive proponents of religion, evangelical and fundamentalist apologists, would resort to what they clearly know to be lies. After all, they are today’s principal prophets of a religion with a cardinal rule “Thou shalt not lie.”

Dr. Myers’ talk outlines some of the lies, but there are many, many more. If you need a wall of words to prove it, I can provide one. However, in the interest of efficient use of discussion space, here is a list that’s been compiled by YouTube’s diagoras54.
