The less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist

I'm not going to address your arrogance, but I will point out the fallacy of this statement by re-stating it -

the more time someone spends being taught only one side of a controversy (ie, immersive brainwashing), the more likely they are to espouse the position they've been taught. Makes perfect sense, but doesn't prove the superiority that you claim.

And what is your familiarity with the “other side” of this controversy?

Abject ignorance and inane misconceptions is all I usually see from the creationist side - like the idea that evolution will produce an “uber man” or the historic ignorance that Communism embraced Darwinian evolution rather than rejecting it as being too capitalistic.

I am sure you may actually be obtuse enough to believe that biologists, geologists, paleontologists (etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum) - only believe what they believe because they have been “brainwashed”. That just shows how little you understand about science and the scientific method.

I don't accept the theory of Darwin because I have been “brainwashed”, I accept it because it is a useful model that helps to explain and predict facts.

Science is useful in explaining and predicting the natural world.

Creationism is useless.
