How does that work on a collective/individual basis? Do you refer to anyone who believes ToE is plausible as a "Darwinist" as long as there's one person who calls you a "creationist"?

Far more than one FRevo calls any non-evo a creationist.

Matter of fact, the tendency is to take anyone who does not hold to the hardline, naturalistic no-God allowed position on the ToE and cram them into a flat earth, heliocentric, 6 day, 6,000 year YEC, Bible literalist box and then mock and ridicule them regardless of what their position is.

Oh, and let's not forget the *any challenge to the ToE is not scientific, it's religious apologetics* label.

Personalize, polarize, and try to provoke a reaction.

All I have to do is not give it to you.

When you show up for Darwin’s birthday bash you’ll have to say the secret words to gain entrance and let me warn you, “I believe in God as the Creator” are not the words.

That’s not to say you’re not allowed to have religious beliefs, just write them down and submit them to the doorman, and he’ll decide which of them have a plate at the Science table.

But sorry, no primordial soup for you, go to the back door and beg for scraps.

Well, maybe if you were to actually challenge the legions of posters here who adhere to a "flat-earth, (and it's geocentric, not heliocentric - heliocentrism is considered to be just as much of Satan as the ToE is around here) 6-day, 6,000 year YEC, Bible literalist" view, we wouldn't cram you into that box.

But you never do. All you ever do is shout "Hallelujah!" right along side them, praise them for their faith and their "insight," and endlessly mock and ridicule the countless real scientists who have spent centuries showing that the Bible literalist view of the universe is a bunch of ignorant, superstitious crap written thousands of years ago by people who had no idea how the universe really works, and had no way of ever finding out because the observational tools that they needed simply weren't there yet. And I'd point out that many of those real scientists paid for their "blasphemy" with their lives, thanks to people like you.

If the shoe fits, wear it. And until you actually start demanding that these lunatics post some actual proof of their assertions that dinosaurs rode on Noah's Ark and that the earth is the immovable center of the universe, among other things, I and every other semi-rational person who reads your nonsense will continue to cram you into that little box right along side the rest of the Luddites.

>>Oh, and let’s not forget the *any challenge to the ToE is not scientific, it’s religious apologetics* label. <<

Its really unfortunate if it comes across that way - since challenge and asking for transparency and proof is part and parcel of any science.

Scientists are people and they have flaw and tempers.

If its any consolation, within science circles I’ve had very good luck asking about holes in theories and hypothetical about what it would mean if some theory is found to be wrong. Likewise I get asked questions about my beliefs as a Christian its never seem to have impaired my ability to work with other scientists.

There are of course a-holes in science. And more than our fair share of scientists impaired at talking to non-scientists - its probably comparable to the issues with computer geeks.
