Repost from dead thread:

The Creationists should have quit while they were ahead.

Reasonable people, including scientists, are prepared to allow for the possibility that God created the universe by causing the Big Bang or whatever else science might view as the “beginning”.

Moreover, reasonable people, including scientists, are even willing to accommodate and accept that people may honestly believe, as a matter of faith, that God decreed all the laws of physics, biology, chemistry, thermodynamics, gravity, and every single other natural law in the universe.

But for some reason this is not good enough for the Creationists. They insist, in addition to the foregoing, that evolution is a bogus theory which is inconsistent with their religious belief that God also created each living species separately.

And then, to top it off, the Creationists insist on ramming their beliefs down the throats of everyone else, by hijacking school curricula and now by attempting to hijack the GOP. And of course by purging from the schools and the party anyone who dissents from their beliefs.

These idealogues may have more in common with the Taliban than with their fellow citizens. And they will eventually suffer the consequences.
