No, it's just that you're too unintelligent and/or uninformed to deal with challenges to your philosophical worldview, and hence, refuse to allow them entrance into your self-contained fact-space

I believe you claimed that evolutionists were Hindus

???? You really did miss the point, didn't you?

I didn't say that evolutionists are Hindus. Let me break it down for you.

- Evolutionists (and secularists in general) say that including creationism and/or ID in public school science curricula would be "teaching religion in the public schools".

- This is based upon the fact that the notion that "God created life, the earth, the universe, etc." instead of it originating from "random materialistic forces" is a tenet held by pretty much all major, monotheistic religions today (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, various pseudo-cultist offshoots thereof, etc.) - Therefore, teaching anything that detracts from evolution is "teaching religion", and thereby promoting Judeo-Christian or Islamic religion, even though neither creationism nor ID are or must be intrinsically tied to any one religious group - it's a generally-held and ecumenical position. - Now, if this is true for the evolutionist, then we must note that evolutionism shares a lot of cosmological assumptions with Hinduism (extremely long earth age, evolutionary origin of species through gradual change, etc.) - Ergo, by the evolutionists own logic, if teaching creationism is tantamount to teaching Christian fundamentalism in the public schools, then teaching evolutionism means to be tantamount to teaching Hinduism. Get it?
