I would call your attention to the word 'largely'.
And, er, "that's not uncommon, these days"? Generalization? (smile)

that creationists are largely impervious to evidence and argument.
Well, your statement is vague. It could either mean:
Most creationists are impervious to evidence and argument, or:
All creationists are impervious to most evidence and argument.
I have specific problems with both of these statements.
And, er, "that's not uncommon, these days"? Generalization?
Nope. Fact. Easily demonstrated by evidence and argument - and it probably wouldn't even require me to go outside of FR to do it.
