Primarily how he misrepresents and caricatures the views of those he
perceives as his opponents, in this case principally biologists. I think
it's important to see how he does this, though, because it shows that
basically he will twist everything to fit his little paradigm. It may be
that his facts are essentially reliable, but one should keep his basic
attitudes in mind.
