Moreover Christian and Creationist are not synonymous. Once again you are attempting to misquote me. I did not say that CHRISTIANS often have other kooky beliefs not supported by evidence, I said that CREATIONISTS do.

My observation was about Creationists and their grab bag of kooky beliefs apparent just from FReepers who post on this board, not in reference to any “worldwide” polling, and not of Christians, many of whom are not “Creationists” by the most widely used definition.

Here on Free Republic we have Creationists who believe that...

Humans and dinosaurs coexisted.

HIV doesn't cause AIDS.

Islamic Jihadists are actually in love with Darwin.

UFO’s are somehow involved with God and Angels and such.

The Sun circles the Earth.

I didn't need a poll to find this out, all I need do is read the postings of FReeper Creationists.

So when you say in post 40 , "I have long maintained that if you look at the belief set of creationists they will almost invariably also believe in many other equally unsupportable beliefs (UFO’s, Geocentricism, HIV-AIDS denial, Jesus rode on a dinosaur, etc, etc).",you really didn't mean what you said?

You now claim that you meant that it was just gleaned from FReepers who are creationists. But you took that and painted all creationists with a broad brush to make all of them out to look like kooks, right?
