Thanks God creationism is not taught in public school science classes. Unfortunately, the creationist’s tortured, weak-in-faith defense of his position is presented by the media as representative of the viewpoint of all Christians. The majority of us, therefore, appear feeble-minded by association, and we don’t like it.

Yes, I'm sure that's why our public schools have such excellent results in international comparisons on science education, and why so many of our students go on to higher education in physics, chemistry, and biology.

"Thanks God creationism is not taught in public school science classes."

You thank God that philosophical naturalism is taught in public school science classes even after you know that it is based on multiple, logical fallacies?

"Unfortunately, the creationist’s tortured, weak-in-faith defense of his position is presented by the media as representative of the viewpoint of all Christians."

Unfortunately, it appears that you haven't understood a single point about the multiple logical fallacies underlying the theory of evolution and apparently can't recognize a complete lack of critical-thinking skills either. And accepting the media's definition of a position is typically not consistent with the reality of the position.

"The majority of us, therefore, appear feeble-minded by association, and we don’t like it."

I note your repeat of the fallacy of appeal to popularity after having it explained to you. While I tend to agree with your conclusion, I don't think the association is the problem...
