"Just because there are creationists who do good works and are nice people doesn't stop them being completely and utterly wrong in their cretinous beliefs."
Gervase, you achieved something remarkable here; you elicited a response from Beardedbruce that I agree with completely.
In my own "cretinous mind", I am at least very inclined to be a "creationist". I also believe that the "theory" of evolution is so well supported by the actual evidence that is hands down the best general explanation of the "how" of creation. I further believe that my own "cretinous" belief in creation is, in fact, a belief, outside the scope of the scientific process and therefore outside the proper scope of a science class,
