If you want to claim that there's some considerable dissembling going on over at DI I wouldn't argue with you, I often feel that way, too, but I try not to think that way. Many creationists think evolutionists know evolution is a lie, and I think it's just as much a mistake to conclude that creationists know creationism (in whatever form) is a lie. Most people just don't have the stamina to lead insincere lives.
Having been in this religious mindset myself at one point in my life, I would have to agree with you Percy. The vast majority of creationists aka a large majority of fundamentalist Christians are sincere in there religious beliefs which also overflows into all aspects of there lives including there "scientific" understanding of the world.
I think the old adage "You can be sincere but be sincerely wrong" applies well to this type of mindset and is very propos to this situation.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.Dr. Carl Sagan
