Creation
Creation has just about expired his usefulness here.
His posts are running thin even for amusement value now.

Re: Why do we have so few creationists
Maybe just point out every tenth lie.
It may be better not to toss around the term "lie" so freely.
Creationists actually believe what they are saying, and certainly don't feel they're lying.
It is true that the evidence shows their claims are wrong and that many refuse to accept that evidence and keep making the same unevidenced and contradicted claims no matter what. But that's more of self-delusion or confirmation bias or just plain stubbornness than lying.
So lets stop with the accusations of lying.
