I've actually been following Craig's Facebook page, along with one or two other RatSkeppers, and I must say I am quite surprised and appalled by how low-information his typical follower is. I don't mean that they are just ignorant about things like evolution and cosmology. Many of them don't even understand basic philosophical concepts such as the difference between the validity and soundness of an argument. The great man himself, sadly, never puts in an appearance to help his acolytes out. They're left to flounder on their own.
They also don't understand a lot of the basic logical fallacies.
And when you point one out, they'll often try to defend it by first denying it and then 'clarifying' their argument which still results in said fallacy.
