It's something we see happening every day. AIG tends to confuse biological evolution with common descent, which is a consequence of evolution.
Here's the most damning confession by AIG:
Even if we presume that all the so-called evidence for evolution has not been satisfactorily dealt with, making the claim that the evidence favors evolution is not helpful to the man in the pew.
The idea that we should avoid the truth, if we think it isn't useful, is not a Christian idea. God is truth, and a Christian should never be afraid of the truth. The notion that believers are better off kept ignorant is very destructive to faith in God.
Dr. Wood has the level of faith that in incomprehensible to the person who wrote that AIG article.
