Whatever is what I call a flag waver.
He has no intention of learning or engaging in serious debate. He merely flies the flag on Creationist canards to give some phsychological support to Creationist lurkers on this site. This is also why he evades addressing points and is dismissive of most.
I liken him to a propaganda machine. The Kerry vs Bush thread was a good example of this where he kept repeating over and over the same rebutted points.
I make these assumptions based on my own experience with the company of thousands of Australian fundamentalists over the last 10 years. I suspect that he is a mature church elder used to being similarly evasive and dismissive when dealing with difficult questions from his flock.
I have always been amazed at your tolerance for his behaviour.
