I have noticed a consistent lack of spelling and grammar skills among the creationist set. Maybe their distaste at learning science extends to a general distaste of learning.

Don't want to step over the line into ad-hominism, but have you ever noticed how creationists very often confuse singular & plural? As in, "all those scientist are liars..."?

I know there's some cognitive problem where the sufferer has problems forming plurals of words, or has problems using plurals in their proper place & context, but I forget what it's called. (Maybe if I call up that museum, you know, "smith" something, and ask someone. But I digress...)

I worked with a software guy once who had this problem. He did have a strange sense of what constituted good code, but he wasn't necessarily a bad coder. And he wasn't irrational or creationist in general. Yet creationists seem to make this mistake much more often than mere chance. It's weird.

Smith Thonian. I've visited his museums in DC.

What is really weird is that you would take the time to actually consider such a fallacy.

Now that is weird!
