Well, the term CRIDers is a not so veiled comparison to critters, a term used to place animals below the level of humans. Thus the implication is that those who would delve into creationism or intelligent design are lower than the humans who defend evolution.

Dogma is not usually helpful when contemplating a theory in order to discern where that theory may have weakness or be in error. Seeking to denigrate posters tends to be a defensive maneuver usually applied when trying to maintain dogma rather than carry on a civil discussion. I really would like to have a civil discussion someday on the notions of intelligent design, creationism, and evolutionary processes. Today isn't the day I could devote lots of time to such an exchange, but I could block off a large portion of this evening, if anyone is interested. [crickets chirping?]

I never saw that association at all. Thanks.

I'm up for an extended discussion later today, pending resolution of some health issues. If I can't provide an immediate answer, I'll let you know it will be delayed.
