Damn dude. Not to derail, but I did not see that coming.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Cognitive dissonance and compartmentalization. Smart people are often skilled in mental gymnastics.
As for the "likable" part - as a misanthrope, I wouldn't know... Wink

You asked if we felt the fight between evolution and creationism would rival that of the geocentric debate in the time of Galileo. I answered no and gave reasons. I made no inclination to where I lie in the argument but based on your criteria that only creationists should answer I suspect you could deduce where I stand. Smile
It was just hard to believe that a creationist would admit that evolution is widely accepted in church circles.

Creatards can be likeable.

Maybe he meant to say that evolution is an idea that he wouldn't outright reject?
I just see an open minded individual.

and which brand of creationist are you?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
