Post #241. There’s that arrogance. And be very careful. World History is not the same as engineering and physics with respect to GPA or scholarship.

My opponent calls Creationists "the lowest IQ fools on the planet", and I'm getting the lecture about arrogance? Really?

FWIW, I will acknowledge that you are right about this. History is definitely a "soft science" and winning the State Championship in World History just involved a lot of rote memorization, no actual thinking. The smartest friend I have (who was on the same team which my high school sent to the State Championships) didn't win first place in anything -- but he took both 2nd in State in Music (Music Theory, I think they were testing?) and also 3rd in State in Mathematics; so given the breadth and depth of his intellect, I've always suspected that he's a bit smarter than li'l ole me.

Ergo, I'll concede the italicized comment as correct. Sorry, hadn't thought about responding to that part of your post until just now.
