Pharyngula has entirely too much fun disposing of an idiot creationist's objections. I love this stuff, watching an ignorance fetishist being shown the error of his ways, but I know it won't help. That's what creationism is: the exalting of ignorance, the worship of thoughtlessness. Are there any non-stupid creationists in the world who can put up a fight without lying or avoiding the facts they dislike? I guess not.

Incidentally, here's a thought for you. The God of the specifically Young-Earth-believing creationists is lying about something; this much is clear. Either he's lying about having made the universe 6000 years ago (because the evidence shows that the universe has been around for more like 13.5 billion years) or else he really did make it 6000 years ago but then planted false evidence about its extreme age. So which is it? Is he lying about being a creator, or simply creating lies within his creation?

Either way, there's one entity in the Christian pantheon that fits the description -- powerful, immortal, completely dishonest -- and it's not God. "God is love", the Good Book says; creating lies is not loving behaviour. The God of the creationists can only be that other entity, the Lord of Lies.

Yep, that's right: by their own definitions, without a shadow of doubt (just the way they like it!), creationists are satanists.

Kind of makes a few things suddenly clearer, doesn't it?
