Anyway, these fools who are pimping young-earth creationism don’t want it to compete in a free marketplace of ideas, they want a theocratic government to ram it down our throats by force of law, while banning any competing theories. That doesn’t sound very free-market to me.

Except, you don't have evidence to support your screed. Young-earth creationists in the form of our founding fathers gave you the freedoms you enjoy, because we believe in a Creator God who gave everyone freedom of conscience and freedom of will. And that's why every significant creationary organization out there supports competitive education (teach both sides, or at least allow individual teachers freedom to teach without persecution), rather than the current one-sided monopoly.

Whereas we have plenty of proof of the exact opposite - of harassment and persecution, job losses, threats and intimidation and more, from evolutionary fanatics. (See for example Dr. Jerry Bergman's work in Slaughter of the Dissidents).

So if you really care about liberty, why are you standing with the fascists who have been very plain in saying they believe in persecuting and harassing creationists and that it is justifiable to do so? Of course, anything is justifiable in an evolutionary worldview ('might makes right'), so I'm not surprised at your hypocrisy.

You have every right to teach your theories in their proper venue - theology class. For y0u to pass off religion as science makes as little sense as trying to pass of science as religion.

Yet it was lord Vishnu with his helper Brahma who made the word. The Vedic scriptures say so! Prove to me otherwise...
