"Creationists" should never, ever be called "liars". They are not.
A liar is one who is aware of the facts, thinks you're not, and lies to you about them. Or, doesn't know the facts, but has enough basic knowledge to "make up" other facts that when examined turn out to be false (hence lies).

No, "creationists" are not liars at all!

They are something far, far worse. They are believers. One cannot converse with, speak sensibly to, or have a fact-filled logical arguement with, a believer. The best a person can do with a believer is smile at them sweetly, and ignore their "arguements".

Once a belief is held by a believer (regardless of how groundless, silly, or inane it may be), no amount of facts or truths will change their beliefs. And it is fruitless and a waste of time to attempt to.
