Re: 5 creationist personas you might encounter

1. The "postmodern" fundamentalist. This evangelical loon has
resorted to postmodernism after discovering that all of their
scientific criticisms of evolutionary theory fail. Despite the fact
that their whole world view depends on absolute knowledge from the
bible, they have decided that the most efficient way to attack science
is from a philosophical nihilistic perspective.

2. The "free your mind" drug hippy. This curious fellow isn't very
coherent but seems to think that eastern philosophy, free love, and
psychadelic experiences disprove natural selection.

3. The "chosen one". This paranoid believer seems to think that his
personal revelations from the Almighty Lord somehow relate to the
falsifiability of scientific evidence. When confronted by theists who
believe in evolution, he'll usually declare them satan-worshippers or
heretics, or better yet, atheists.

4. The "I'm Ok, You're Ok" philosopher. This deep thinker has finally
discovered the "ultimate truth" of the universe: everybody is equally
right and equally wrong. Never mind that there's mountains of
evidence for evolutionary theory, and absolutely none for
creationism-- according to this guy, there's no such thing as "right"
or "wrong" when it comes to...anything.

5. The banned google user. This poor chap has been banned from
google.com, and unfortunately can't discover all of the evidence for
speciation that the rest of us can access on a daily basis.

The "evidence miser". This creationist has so much evidence for god,
creation, miracles, biblical inerrancy, and their own superiority,
that they cannot decide which bit to post, and so never quite get
around to posting any at all.
