This is a demeaning ad hominem attack. Which is worse and more cowardly than an ad hominem attack.

You love to set up straw men and then knock them down.

No. I described an idea - creationism - as strange and obsolete. An ad hominem attack is an attack on a person.

If we can't negatively criticize ideas, we can't have a discussion.

joyspring, these hard core evolutionists are so convinced that they are superior that they don't even realize that half the words they use are demeaning and condescending insults.

If you make a point to ignore all the nasty things they say about us, you can actually learn something about how they perceive life.
