Britain Talks to Paul Nelson

By Ed Brayton

Troy Britain went to a Q & A session about Expelled that included prominent ID advocate Paul Nelson and wrote about it. He recounts the story of how, in 2006, he was at another event where he caught Nelson utterly distorting Keith Miller's position on a subject in a highly dishonest manner.

That resulted in five different posts and it included Nelson leaving several comments attempting to defend himself and, frankly, not faring very well. The facts were fairly easy to sort out.
