I read his little story about the Russian translator as
an admission that he thinks the "lieing for God" that
Phillip Johnson indulges in is acceptable because it
counters the even greater "lie" of evolution.
I could be wrong, but I can see no other purpose or point
to the story otherwise.
He could just come out and and say where he stands:
whether he thinks it is acceptable for a creationist to
lie if the lie is in the service of discrediting evolution.
I suspect he's too slippery and slimy to actually confirm
or deny this, though.
