I beg your pardon(?)
Cordially,
There is no argument for creationism (excluding theistic evolution) which does not reflect badly upon the person making it by implying ignorance, stupidity, dishonesty, insanity, or some combination of the preceding. Then there's the way the same militant posters show up trolling for suckers with those same bad pennies upon thread after thread, feigning amnesia and forcing people to drag them kicking and screaming through the refutations to their arguments again and again and again and again and again.
Within the delusional system of the creationist, all this is OK. It's a Holy War. One is allowed to act badly in a war. It's very liberating, saving the world from the evil dumb people. The delusional system itself is bullet-proof. All the evidence against it is enemy action of some sort. There's no reason ever not to soldier on.
From outside, though, for those who have not drunk the Kook-Aid, it looks bad. The country will never go along with this. The Holy Warriors attempting one school board takeover after another around the country threaten to become the shackle that grinds conservatism to a halt by forcing everyone who doesn't think Duane Gish is a scientist to relabel himself as a "progressive."
