LOL You know with creationists you can say something true and repeat it and they will still come back with the same refuted nonsense again.

This "ID" nonsense is similarlary hash from decades ago. I still can't fathom what goes on in the mind of a YEC'er to allow him to find credibility in those arguments that DON'T support the YEC lunacy.

It does seem like a form of insanity. This cognitive dissonance seems to be caused by the fear of losing friends in their church. It is also partly from the misinterpretation of some passages on the Bible on "agreement".

Christians are supposed to agree on the basics, like the Nicene Creed. The creationist conmen use this to cleverly distort the Gospel into their own cultish dogma.

I went to a church to see what it was like yesterday. They happened to have a guest speaker affiliated with the Discovery Institute there. He made creation a cornerstone for the Gospel in a convoluted yet cleverly couched speech, using a power point presentation. I think many of the people in this wealthy suburban church were not fooled, but the church as a whole seems to be led by idiots who believe this crapola.

It is sad.
