What is both sad and hilarious is how many of those exact argument's I've run across - even here, on this forum (which, I'd like to mention - most politics/religion forums are cesspits. This one is not different, but it's a higher-quality cesspit).

I hope, one day, that I'll hear something original from a creationist. Sadly, I've only ever heard a decent proposal from Shrox (who is awesome).

I don't expect to ever hear something original from a Creationist. Think about it: everything they will say invariably comes back to one book, which is of questionable value ethically and no value scientifically. Unless they start sourcing new material, we will be subjected to the same old fallacies over and over again, but with a different title (Creationism turns into Intelligent Design, etc). One reason I found this video entertaining is because I have seen all of these devices used here in PPR within the past 3 months at least

I once had an Anthropology instructor who had described himself as a creationist - but only in the sense that he had credited God with the creation of the universe, and everything alive in it. But otherwise, he accepted evolution.
Basically, my point of view.

A totally unscientific belief since it leads to no testable conclusions.

God-Did-It is NOT an explanation of anything.

Your illiterate hyjinks do not agitate me, they make me question your intelligence. So either take part in the discussion or f**k off

I usually have seen that view referred to as theistic evolution

I can't prove it but I think creationism is much weaker on the internet than it was 15 years ago. A decade or more of being humiliated seems to have tempered the urge.
