No, I contain only contempt for the idea behind creationism.

Scrutiny into scientific evidence is what I engage in daily. There is no attempt to divert scrutiny away from the evidence that supports the conclusions.

Piltdown was not a case of people wanting “so much to believe”. If Piltdown were real it would throw quite a ‘monkey’ wrench into what we know about human evolution.

Acceptance that living things develop through natural selection of genetic variation no more removes God as the ultimate creator of living things than accepting that stars form through gravity and nuclear fusion means that God did not create the stars and our Sun.

On the contrary, your disparaging remarks about creationists in post 112 gives lie to that statement.

These quotes from that post show it.....

Sure, Science produces things of value. Creationists produce nothing of value.

Industry values science education and pays people if they know and understand science and can produce things of value.

Industry has no use for creationists. They produce nothing of value.

You're clearly saying that creationists can't do science and that's simply not true. There are plenty of creationists even on this forum who practice science and technology. And there are evolutionists on this forum who have nothing to do with science and clearly don't understand it and act like they do simply because of their belief system.

So, from your reasoning, only valid scrutiny can come from scientists.

If creationists express skepticism, they’re just a bunch of ignorant, knuckle dragging, Luddites who don’t really understand how science works, simply because you as an evo, don’t like or approve of their reasons for skepticism.
