I'm perfectly tolerant of others' opinions. You haven't found me threatening anyone holding a differing opinion, have you? Indeed, the very fact that I engage in discourse with those of other opinions indicates a decided tolerance.

You give a single label to all that do not agree with your opinion - you don't need to threaten anyone to be a bigot. I think bigotry is a strong work and probably is not really applicable - but when you brought out the tired old "walks like a duck" slogan - you started flirting with bigotry.

The point is: questioning evolution does not make one a creationist (that thinking is completely illogical). Like many evolutionists you argue to a creationist straw man of your own creation.

From the way you talk - you seem to see yourself as intellectually superior in these debates. Who knows - you might actually be. I just think you would be better off demonstrating your superior intellect rather than trying to apply labels to people.

From practical experience on these threads, plus a little online research, I have come to believe that anti-evolutionists are, at heart, creationists. No actual working biologists, nor anyone really familiar with the subject, actually question evolution. The only folks that do turn out to be creationists in the end. Indeed, ICR considers questioning evolution and promoting ID to be a wedge to reintroduce creationism to the curriculum.

Besides, we have come up against one-another in the past, and I can assure you no one believes you are not a creationist.
