He is not trying to 'keep up'. He knows full well evolution has been proven a hundred times over. His MO is to keep knocking down evolution in the vain hope creationism will win out, something which will never happen.
He doesn't do his own thinking, only parroting the OTHER idiots who try to present the same tired arguments, which has nothing to do with science, and has everything to do with politics.
They just want to convince enough simple minded folks who also can't think for themselves of the correctness of creationism, gathering enough of those people for a democratic takeover of the entire scientific process.
Which would of course, #1, make us even more of a laughing stock in the world and #2 put the US on a road to scientific ruin which we would be unable to recover for a long time, thus putting countries like Brazil, China, Japan, maybe even Russia ahead of us in the area of scientific progress. We used to be # 1 at that game but if creationists win, we would be lucky to place #30.
