Well, the creos certainly repeat the content of that dialogue. Almost all of them.

The problem is that they expect us to repeat the content of the dialogue of Chick's fictional "unbelievers", especially when addressing the subject of evolution. Then they become extremely angry when we tell them that their strawman version of evolution -- pulled wholesale from a Chick tract or from a Hovind book (which is where Chick got his information in the first place) -- is completely wrong.

I recall a discussion from over a year ago where a creationist literally seemed to be replying based upon a script rather than anything that I actually said. He admonished me for assuming that he was a creationist (though later he admitted being one), and I went through my postings to him and could not find a single post wherein I had stated such a belief. I'm convinced that more than one creationist posts based upon a script rather than actual statements put to them. That might explain why they often explode so violently: they're rather put-off that their replies no longer make sense because they have incorrectly predicted what those on the evolution side would say.

Seminar trolling. I guess it was inevitable. Next newbie that shows up, tell him "Merry Christmas" and watch his head explode.
