Creationists definitely use postmodernist type arguments as a strategy.

Oh I think they're pretty cynical. They'd like to just replace evolution with creationism but know it's impossible.

So you get all this 'who can tell the truth?' and 'we must teach both sides' crap. I suspect it's quite calculated.

The dishonesty is intellectual. They believe in their religion or in PoMo but soften or strengthen claims
