Hey now.....I'm trying to be honest. Oh drat! I can't think of a one-liner. :)

Heh -- okay, there's at least one exception. ;-)

Heck, I barely consider you a "creationist", at least not the strictest sense. In the more broad sense of the word, a lot of evolutionists are also creationists, so clearly there are many varieties under that one definitional umbrella, and you definitely seem in a different category than the ones I'm talking about (i.e. the kind who usually inhabit these threads).

I am indeed a strict creationist, I just believe that there are indeed some truth to evolution (as proponents of ID actually are admitting too). My differences are ones of personality--I can insult and poke fun at myself, I don't take myself too seriously, I can respect different beliefs of others without getting into a hissyfit (at least on some issues:), I take an objective approach (or a dumb joke approach) rather than an absolutionist approach, and so on and so on. Learning some things about evolution strengthens my belief in creationism. That doesn't mean I am completely right or regard myself as such. I learn and I adapt at times. I'm not some "expert" nor am I deeply gifted with words. I usually have bigger and better things to worry about rather than how I began. Nonetheless, for some dumb reason, I can't keep off coming to an evolution thread every once in a while.
