absolutely fascinated by the fact that their example of a foreign word that needs italics is "Lebensraum"?? If this were a social science journal I wouldn't read anything into it, but since the word wouldn't even come up in the context of a "creation science" journal, it's kind of weird and creepy.

As in Adolf Hitler's justification of the annexation of foreign countries? A Nazi policy and not an environmental one. Yes, very creepy. Great catch
