Re: Gap-toothed creationists
You deny insulting my intellect, tisk tisk, it is what you guys do all day long, you claim some intellectual academic higher ground that doesn't exist any more than any moral high ground exists.

You're not doing so well...
I have reviewed the 26 posts you made in this thread and you have yet to make a coherent argument or actually engage in debate.
Your posts consist of one-liners characterized by insults and unsupported claims, generally followed by more insults.
You are becoming the poster-child for the thread's topic, demonstrating Why "YEC" Creationism is BAD for America.

Re: Gap-toothed creationists
Can you answer my question please? Is creation taught in secular schools and universities as fact in the USA?

reality vs fantasy?

No. It is against the constitution ...
... But some creationists want to change that ...
... and they advance arguments as intellectually and factually filled as your own.
But outside of school YEC beliefs stunt productive education and development.

Re: You're not doing so well...
Think back to three or four days ago and pretend I haven't shown up yet, just like evidence for evolution, your good at pretending. Seriously though if I'm spoiling everyone's science club fun here I truly am happy to leave on my own steam? I Thought creationist faith head insane looney tune sandle wearing rag headed desert god worshiping people who are dangerous for the youth of America were welcome here. I know silly me.

Re: reality vs fantasy?
So what your saying is creationists are seeking a political solution to ensure creationism is taught in schools, is that correct?

Re: You're not doing so well...
You have yet to present an argument in favor of your beliefs.
All we've seen so far is sarcasm and insults.

Re: reality vs fantasy?
I'd like to see the arguments and who they are being presented too, I find it unusual that creationists are seeking a political solution to this issue don't you? As long as our freedom is not curtailed to believe and educate our young, which is clearly what you are trying to have politically removed from us, is that correct, hopefully you will answer me honestly.

Re: You're not doing so well...
I have yet to be allowed to get any thread topics past your goon squad, they do a good job of protecting your from having to deal with facts, allowing you to ad hom attack creationists all day long, it really is quite sad.

Re: You're not doing so well...
There are specific rules to setting up threads here, mostly to deep the topics tightly focused.
Why don't you try starting a thread with something like "I'm a creationist and this is what I believe..." as the title, then one particular topic following.
Present your specific belief and your argument for it, and suggest which forum it should be placed in.
I bet you'll get it promoted very quickly.

Re: You're not doing so well...
So the forum is evolution verses creation, and you need me to explain what is meant by creation and what I believe it to be in order to get a thread up here, wow.
