Not only, but---
Creationists are not only defective in challenging scientific 'theories', but are among Biblical ignorami. They come bustling in, bristling with indignation or righteous anger, determined to slay the atheist/evolutionary/scientific beast and proceed to demonstrate the full extent of their Biblical knowledge. Which is abysmal. You would think a believer would be concerned with learning of Bible history, versions, various interpretations, even textual criticism, if only to make sure they were on the right track-delusion-wise. But, the more they quote Bible-related matters, the more they are exposed as vacuous. Repeatedly, we are told 'There is only one Bible' 'The Qumran Scrolls show the Bible has never changed' 'Archaeology proves the Bible' 'The Exodus and Flood really happened' 'The Gospels were written by the authors named in the Bible'. And much more in that vein.They are equipped via church tracts, or their cyber counterparts, creationist websites, which stroke the egos of followers, but rarely admit their errors. When you try to point out ways of getting to the truth, even sourcing Christian scholars or clergy, they retreat into denial, or show their failure to absorb Christian principles by lashing out with juvenile threats. Basic dogma isn`t that hard to learn, but surely, there comes a time when you have to advance. Not only as a Christian, but as a human being.
