If someone is going to have any hope of getting out of the dark hole of ignornance that the literalists view is based on they need to be able to break free from sources which are lying to them. They need to see how very silly the things which they are being fed are.

Eventually, yes they are going to have to do that. However, the whole process has to start slowly. Much like the groundhog seeing his shadow, if creationists get their head bit off the first time they ask a question about evolution are they going to be more or less likely to continue to investigate evolution? I think there should be one thread where questions are answered in a calm, logical, and plainly spoken fashion. That is why I titled the thread "Creationist Friendly Q&A". I was hoping that this thread could be a place for lurkers to ask questions they may feel too intimidated to ask in other threads. That is my hope, but reality may prove to be different. We'll see.
And here you see the problem spelled out, and it has been so many times by those who would call themselves 'enlightened', who by virtue of a little education think themselves qualified to judge who occupies the dark hole and who is fed silly things.
And this is how you seek converts to the half-truth, half-crap you present as the only way. How's the weather up there on your high horse?
Your intentions for this thread are self-serving. You do not have anything other than ridicule in mind........look at me, I am intelligent and you can be, too, all you have to do is put away everything that I believe should have no meaning to you, and accept as meaningful what has meaning to me.
I encourage anyone and everyone who has any degree of charity toward fellow-creatures, to see that you are not servants of your cause in this approach, but despotic, arrogant manhandlers in dire need of understanding that humanity is spiritual as well.
