Huh, oh. Looks like Wall Crawler's mad. I won't ping him because he doesn't want us to, I guess.

This reminds me of an exchange I had with a creationist several days ago.

I was trying to make the point that if evolution is to be rejected, then some other explanation that covers all the relevant fossil, DNA, and other discoveries must be accepted.

We went through several posts, and it didn't look like he was going to acknowledge that my point was true, or false. He just wanted to critique evolution ad nausium, and that's it. We finally got into one of those "answer the question, it's a yes or no answer" things, and he never would answer it. Called my logic names and told me to go pound sand.

I assume he was a Christian. But if so, he sure didn't make Christians look honorable.

He doesn't like people exposing his blatant dishonesty and lack of logic skills. It's "mean" for us to do that. That seems to be a common complaint amongst creationists who lie.

He probably was of the belief that disproving evolution somehow "proves" his personal creation story.

You'll see a lot of creationists who won't actually outright admit that they're Biblical literalists. This is because they want to pretend that their objections are not religious in nature, even though they can't present a logical objection to the theory. Still, I don't think that they're as bad as the ones who openly admit to being religious and argue against evolution based upon logical fallacies such as appeal to the consequences while asserting that anyone who does not reject evolution is an atheist. The former just end up looking ignorant of science; the latter look like they value piety above honesty.
