[Creationists] are just intellectually dishonest.

I have solid empirical evidence that most evolutionists and creationists have the intellect to conclude that such "broad brush" statements are intellectually dishonest. Others don't have the intellect, or at least don't use it.

Many come to these threads because there are those who actually discuss these issues. I know I am frustrated by having to filter posts from those who would rather defend their ego than learn. Let's all do a better job of restraint (or absence) and bump up the odds of a good discussion.

Just not the author of this article.

To make the claim that one or the other theory is false is intellectually dishonest. The first step in arguing against a false permise is to identify the false premise.

I've seen far to many unsupported gradious claims from the bible thumpers to give them the pass you do, but I will revise my statement in light of your criticism.

Many creationists (at least a large plurality, including the author of this article) are intellectually dishonest

Better?
