Not only do creationists want to do away with biology, geology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy, they also want to do away with mathematics. When I was teaching, they were mostly against imaginary numbers being treated on an equal footing with real numbers.

Understandibly; they were probably too "Complex" for them!

Some of us non-math folk would like to do away with them too. Also numbers ending in 7. :-)

Hello? What in the world does math or physics or chemistry have to do with evolution? And why would creationists not like imaginary numbers? I have never met any creationists who want to do away with all science and math.

If you had any credibility before, you've just spent it all on that post.
