We drove past a creation museum when I went to the dinosaur park in Texas ( dino footprints were found there, and can still be seen ). I wished we had gone in. "Cain married his sister to people the earth" Yeah, I always love the 'our genes were perfect so there was no inbreeding' argument.

As someone who grew up in the Cincinnati area, I can tell you that when you cross the river into Kentucky, you enter another world. Just remember that our very own Grand Negus lives in Kentucky. :rolleyes:

This list in it's entirety is proof that people can be really smart, yet still see the world through their personal filters. Dr. Bryant Wood, Creationist Archaeologist Isn't that like a feminist biologist ? I met one of those, she insisted there were no brain differences between men and women, because that's what she believed. The facts made no difference to her.

Not surprising. You blend right in.

Then quit trolling for recruits for your plain unthinking order.

What scares you, is that you have nothing on Dawkins.

Dawkins is obviously pushing a barrow as well, the title of his last book proves that. I'm saying that the correct title is 'biologist', or 'archeologist'. The prefix is, in both cases, saying 'so long as it fits in with what I believe'. Most archeologists or biologists will believe in evolution, obviously. That's not my point.

Dr. Gary E. Parker, Biologist, Cognate in Geology (Paleontology)
I once read a book by this gentleman. It was the most dishonest book I have ever read, bar none. Reading it was actually rather important in my intellectual development. It showed me that Christians, in spite of their representations of personal piety, could be out and out liars. The scales fell from my eyes. From that point on I viewed everything Christians said with the same scepticism I applied to all other claims. It was then just a short journey to atheism.

Curiously, my intellectual journey has been just the opposite. I started off as an athiest and was drawn away from it by the intellectual dishonesty of its proponents.
Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

The reason why he uses evolutionary as prefix is that ID proponents also call themselves biologists. I don't think he wants to be mistaken for a nut case. ;)

Sure - because he is worked up about it. Otherwise, he'd write different books to those he does. This makes him no different to a 'creationist archeologist', except that he's on the side of the majority. In both cases, they should call themselves what they are, without a prefix that indicates a bias and an axe to grind.

No, he's on the side of sanity. I would be very happy if that is the same side as the majority, but it is not...

So you would rather listen to someone teaching stories out of an ancient mythology book?

I don't know what you mean by "rather", but, yes, I find the bible (and other religious texts) provides absolutely fascinating insights into the minds of ancient peoples, and how the moral principles upon which all of human civilization stands were established.
