My impression is that most Christians are not creationists. At any rate, I tend to notice commonalities between how liberals and creationists argue. From the other side, it tends to look like this:
- Your opponent is working for a better world to come (in this life and/or the next).
- You are evil and dumb for disagreeing.
- You do not deserve honest answers. You deserve facile, smirking dismissals, patent dishonesty, or simple shouting down.
- If you protest at your treatment, you will be told that "your side" has been equally dishonest, so all is fair. This logical fallacy of tu quoque--"You're another!"--is applied even if, quite unlike your antagonist, you personally have done nothing but try to honestly explain what you believe and why.
- Even if you're absolutely right, arguments against your position are entitled to consideration on "fairness" and "intellectual diversity" grounds.
A recent post of yours reminded me of the last point in particular.
Your "impression" is that evolution is fact. You are an Impressionist. This is really fun, but I have to go to work now. Oh, I forgot to SHOUT this. LOL
