True enough. If you're really too lazy to read a book then no one can help you.

Your beliefs do not effect reality and evidently reality does not effect your beliefs.

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

I will give you all plenty of time, so you can be sure to come up with your personal all-star 4. I want you all to make sure you choose your best.
You're off topic. The discussion here is about possible reasons for a decline in the number of creationists participating in this forum.
The "Best" evidence for evolution. thread is still open, if you'd care to pick up the discussion there. There are also quite a few other open threads in the Biological Evolution forum that deal with specific lines of evidence that support evolutionary theory. Your question would be much more appropriately discussed there.

Percy has given his solemn word that he will always support posters asking for evidence when the claimants are being evasive.
I know its times like this when your side really needs Dr. A. He is perfect for saying something totally meaningless and so utterly boorish to read that its good for a temporary diversionary tactic. He can actually cause people's brain to freeze for a while as they try to comprehend what they just saw.
Are you the best they have for this right now monkey?
Dam, where is Dr. A??

I am not polite to you because that would not be compatible with being truthful. If, like Aaron, your fault lay in mistaking a medial view of a whale's pelvis for a lateral view, then I could say so politely, as I did to him. However, your fault is that you are a disgusting liar and a contemptible hypocrite, and there is no polite way to say so.
You forgot "crybaby."
This, by the way, is germane to the thread's stated topic. It could be that there are fewer creationists here because it's rare for someone to sustain the level of cognitive dissonance necessary to come to this forum and have his views dissected for the ill-formed, senseless mush that they are time and time again. That takes a lot of dedication to the purpose. However, it must also be frustrating and emotionally disturbing. Hence the tendency for a creationist to fall back on deceit and hypocrisy, as you point out, as well as a hefty load of self-pity
I'm just sayin'.
