But the fanatics (Creationists and their soul-mates, the PostModernDeconstructionists) are against evolutionary theory because it is science. In many (if not almost all) cases, they extend their attacks to physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, among others. The Creationists-PostModernDeconstrucionists claim to have some type of "superior" knowledge that is to be used even when the evidence is otherwise.

But of course, I also saw you post on last thursday, I found it rather amusing since I did it as well, only I use yesterday instead.

We have superior knowledge, do we not, because we can claim that, and no one can prove us wrong. That's what the creationists are counting on, problem is, that we didn't put it down in writing, so we can change it whenever we want.

They are trapped, because they wrote it down and it is unerring.

Kind of like being in a round room and telling them to sit in a corner. When in fact there are no corners, but they believe there are. And in a certain way of thinking, there would be infinite amount of corners in a round room. All depends on how willing you are turn off your common sense.
