The whole business of cheering for the gaps in our knowledge exposes the Luddite nature of the enterprise. Such people have nothing to offer but the shrug of ignorance.

The creationoids cheer for each gap in our knowledge with the same delight that democrats cheer whenever they discover a "disadvantaged" group, or a stock market decline. The democrat goes: "See, they're not perfect! Vote for us!" and that's about it. The creationoid empire is similar to the socialist empire -- it's built upon ignorance -- their own and that of their followers.

Had I thought of that term, I think I would have removed two of those letters.

No offense, but evolutionists have the smug attitude of "ours is science while yours is no better than magic, suckers." Well there is some point to that. But if you wrap yourself in a cloak of science you should live by the rules of science, and they say that gaps in the evidence taint your conclusions and cast doubt on them until you fill them. You may not like that, but if you choose to ignore that part of the scientific method then you have abandoned it. As for the "creationoids", they dont have the same burden of proof since they readily acknowledge their worldview is based on faith which cannot be proved or disproved. When scientists take the same attitude, a new religion is founded. So it seems in case of evolution.
