Yes! Exactly.

IMO, Deism is a greater threat to Theists than the secular humanist (scientist or not.)

I’ve been around the block (more than once) on the evolution/creation issues… I remember years ago when in college I would have discussion with a couple of the creationists on my dorm floor, and it would become evident rather quickly that they would shut out any scientific reasoning past a certain point.

Generally speaking, I’ve found it of no use to try and discuss science with people who are dead set against some scientific conclusion. People believe what they need to believe, to deal with their personal situation at any given point in their life.
