A creationist honest about his bias!
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your honesty. Very few creationists state their anti-evidence bias so openly or bluntly. In fact, I know of only two, Kurt Wise, and a former poster here named Faith. If only all creationists were so true to the biblical injunction not to lie.
However, given your self-professed dismissal of anti-biblical evidence, one is forced to wonder why you have come to a creationism/evolution debate site.
If you are here to try to convert us heathens, I can assure you you are wasting your time and effort. I am confident that most or all of us here know considerably more on the topic than you do (many of us have been studying it longer than you have been alive), and certainly understand the arguments you make much better than you do yourself. As a result, we know that your arguments lack any force whatsoever.
If you are here to educate yourself, take care. A few heathens here came here with that purpose in mind and found themselves rejecting all that they believed on the subject when they arrived.
If you are here to hone your debating skills, I fear you will find this place very daunting and frustrating. You will find you are always butting your head against an opponent with a mountain of evidence who has already heard all you have to say and already knows the answers to it. Either that or you will have to resort to dishonest debating tactics to even stay in the discussion.
I'm not trying to sound arrogant, although I recognize that I may come across as such. I'm simply speaking from experience. As it so happens, I registered here exactly 4 years ago today (yay me!). Everything that I've seen from every creationist here (or anywhere else for that matter) falls squarely within one or more of the three alternatives I've described above.
In any event, welcome! If nothing else, we shall be linked by a common anniversary.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
