(11,443 posts)When they start their shit on the AM shows, the hosts of the later shows should have plenty of time to prepare. Most days you're going to hear the exact same shit from every single one of them.

Named for Duane T. Gish of the Creation Research Institute, the 70s-80s predecessor of Ken Hamm. He'd arrange evolution vs creation "debates" before scientists caught on to the tactics, and they'd accept with visions of Inherit the Wind in their heads. But Gish would rattle off point after point after point of "problems" with evolution -- ALL of which had real answers, but answering any one of which properly would eat up all the opposition's response time and then some, much less all of them. The result was that Gish looked like he had stumped his opponent, at least in the eyes of an audience favorable to him, which is the one he cared about.
