I've found people even more intellectually dishonest than some (SOME -- many are very well intentioned and ernest) of the YEC crowd here --- HIV deniers.
What a bunch of dangerous fools.
At least the dishonest YEC folks don't get people killed.
That depends. Science enhances our lives, and medical science (which is obviously informed by evolution) saves lives -- millions of them every year. If the YEC folks would behave like the Amish, adhering to their beliefs and bothering no one, that would be fine with everyone. But some of them want a theocracy, and would use political power to shut down science. They would cause the needless deaths of hundreds of millions. Annually. Forever.
Actually there have been people on these threads ranting against medicine and surgery. Not that the practice of medicine is perfect or saintly, but the rants imply that medicine itself is the work of Satan.
I am not exaggerating this.
After reading many of these threads, I think your tagline is most appropriate.
Used to live in Abilene TX. It's sort of west.
