What is it with you creationists? Always feeling the need to puff out your chest? It’s so weird. You did well on you SAT’s. You went to a Jr. College and did well there. You apparently won some world history trivia contest while there for your state.

All these things are wonderful. But so what, man? You’re falling prey one of the creationist cliches - the one where if you go to AiG of DI you’ll notice very similar puffery. PhD’s here and MS’s there. Of course, for 80% of them, when one digs deeper, one finds that many of these “degrees” are from diploma mills and Christian colleges with no accreditation.

I also happen to think you miss the true nature of Rand Paul’s sidestep. I think he does accept an old-earth and didn’t want to a) lie to the young-earthers in the crowd and/or b) didn’t want to tell them the truth and upset their myopia.

I WISH all creationists just kept to your idea of the free-market and “breeding” overcoming the evil scourge of science. That’s a nice, quiet and quaint (albeit ridiculous) “solution” that would allow science to progress without impediment. So please, carry on in your fight.

Um, no. Actually, the junior college in question hosted the High School State Championships in 1991.
I won the State Championship for World History. My buddy Isaac took 2nd in State for Music and 3rd in Mathematics. It was a good haul for our high school.

I never went to junior college, I always had full scholarhips (from the State Board of Regents) for any university in the State I wished to attend.

Look, when somebody jumps onto the thread for the sole purpose of claiming that Creationists are the "lowest-IQ fools on the planet", I'm going to respond by pointing out that, by any objective measure, the Creationists he's insulting have MUCH higher IQs than he does.

If it's not your fight, why are you jumping into it? I didn't look up your posts for the purpose of insulting you.

Well, thank you for that. I do agree that the abolition of Government Schooling, and with it the subsidy provided for the teaching of Evolutionism, is the only fair and just resolution for the problem.
