I always found it amusing that so many creatards did not understand that Darwin was one of them:
Quote:Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.
He merely dismissed their particular poetic fairy tale notion of creation which, as is always true of religious nuts, is enough to earn their enmity.
Of course, we have come a long way since Darwin and now understand that creationism is the exclusive province of the terminally stupid.

Once, a long time ago, but meh its out-of-date now anyway, its gradually becoming a history book and I already have an abundance of computer science, law and biology books well past their sell-by date and long out of print as it is.

Its trying to get the pious pisstakers to understand that Hitler was one of them is the hard part.
