Willfully participating in a campaign of misinformation

The video below has popped up in a number of my blog feeds over the last few days, and appears to have resurfaced due to the fact that The X-Files has recently returned to our screens. Created by Buddy Davis, who works for the organisation Answers in Genesis, the video is a parody of The X-Files that claims to uncover a conspiracy amongst scientists to convince the world that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, when in fact they really survived until very recently.

Personally I would have thought that the fact that one of the characters in the clip, “Agent Scaly”, is a walking, talking triceratops would be all the evidence they would need to make their case, but apparently not. No, what they really need is Bible verses and enough conjecture to fill a swimming pool.
