Attack of the Theocrats!
The analogy between Holocaust denial and various deniers of Evolution is quite useful; the deliberate indifference to - or refusal of - evidence, and the often elaborate attempts at fabricating alternative theories. It doesn't hold up against closer scrutiny, but often sufficient to at least confuse the unprepared layman. You could even say that we had our Kitzmiller vs. Dover trial in the shape of Lipstadt vs. Irving.
The excerpt sounds promising. Especially contrasted to some of the commentary.
