Upon further review, it strikes me that you may have misunderstood my post.

Though I think the post as a whole makes this clear, the “subject matter” to which I refer is the actual beliefs of creationists, not the validity of creationism. If I were a creationist- which I am not- this would actually make me more credible on the subject of what creationists believe, rather than less so.

In any event, it seems more rational to trust creationists as to what creationists believe than non-creationists, nicht wahr?

Not defending the concept, Gene. Just pointing out that it isn’t what Trudeau thinks it is.

Gee, Bob… we’ve never heard that one before. So if environmental forces select thousands of small changes to a species over geologic time, until it is no longer recognizable and couldn’t possibly produce offspring with its original form, it’s still the same species?
Who knew?

I’d like to suggest a third option, Sadie Jane.

Ever think of doing some reading, and thinking for yourself? Try it. It beats trusting implicitly in the those ignorant about what creationism even is- and too foolish to reexamine their prejudices even when easily verifiable factual errors are pointed out to them.

That’s dumb whether your a Creationist or a Darwinist.

Why are you guys making light of a serious site about a cartoon? Uhhh, let me rephrase that . . .

For that matter, who gave head to the Piltdown Man?

Surely as a good athiest I should Bash the Bishop?

For that matter, WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS!???

Now it begs the question of species origination.  If some spank the monkey whilst others choke the chicken, what then is the common ancestor of chickens and monkeys??

But more importantly, will the monkey adapt to the spankings? Or is the monkey an exaptation because it wants to spanked? Questions, questions…

It depends whether the monkey likes that sort of thing…
