Second, I am not a creationist. Nor can I understand why you think a
creationist would try to pose as an "evolutionist" (to use the
creationists' term) on the TO newsgroup. Some proponents of the
mainstream viewpoint on Wikipedia suspect that some of the editors who
drop by the evolution article are part of some sort of creationist
campaign to subvert the wiki, but a *newsgroup?* Even less can I
understand why you could think so despite the fact that I wrote two
detailed posts earlier in this thread which were inconsistent with
common creationist thinking.

You are quite right. I'm sorry for jumping to hasty conclusions.
I recall some creationists posting here in the pretence that they are
"evolutionists", but evidently you are not one of them.


Bloop should know that it's a routine trick that creationists like to
pull when they come here for the first time. They DO pretend to
"accept evolution, but what about THIS?" They then paint some
caricature of evolution that they think demolishes the theory. You
can see a related behavior in Evopeach: he concealed- I think even
lied about- being a YEC until near the end of his presence here (I
think he denied being a YEC but it's not worth the effort to go
through all his posts to find out). Sure it's dishonest- but isn't
that what we've been saying all along?
