Why not critique the ideas in the article itself, rather than attacking the individual's credibility? That would be more reasonable.

It may be that he is quite knowledgeable in the natural sciences. The pro-evolution site talkorigins.org defends the right for "interested laymen" to contribute to pro-evolution arguments. See the last question at:

What is the connection between traditional values and an anti-evolutionist stance? In US religion and politics all the following terms go together:

conservative
evangelical
anti-evolutionist
Republican
political action

Take this core of ideology and wrap it in the marketing term "traditional values" and you pretty much have what this movement is about.

But it is remarkable that a UCG minister would be accepted by such a group, even in a relatively
non-theological role such as anti-evolutionist journalism. My guess is that nobody screened Mario before letting him write. One of the words that could be added to the list above is "zealous intolerance". If anybody in this Traditional Values organization discovered that Mario does not believe in the trinity, I think his tenure would suddenly end.
