So, my question is are the Creationists intruding here or is it an equal place to come to as far as Creationists and Evo's? IS there really a bias? Or is it simply a site for both parties to discuss topics? It seems already to me that Evo's feel they run the place and Creationists are morons who shouldn't be here. Am I wrong?
As Percy states, this site is biased towards science when discussing creationism and evolution. If creationism is scientific then this shouldn't be a problem.
Without provoking a debate on specifics here, I will simply state that on average those who promote the theory of evolution are much more educated in the biological sciences than those who promote creationism. It is this difference in knowledge that leads to problems in many threads. For example, a creationist may come on this site claiming that evolution is just random chance. This is a PRATT (point refuted a thousand times). Evolution, in real science, is described as being guided by natural selection which is the opposite of random chance (if you wish to discuss this further there are many threads already dealing with this topic). The difference in background knowledge becomes worse and worse as the specifics are discussed. We only label people morons if they revel in their ignorance and see no need to fix it. We are all ignorant of something, don't get me wrong. It is those that refuse to cure their ignorance that receive the full brunt of our sarcasm.
As to the ratio of creationists to evolutionists, I bet it is pretty even. The difference is that the creationists tend to only post for a short time. Once it becomes apparent that the arguments they are pulling from creationist websites do not stand up to scrutiny they tend to leave. Us evo's tend to stick around. Of course, these are only generalities.
