""I think it could be said that the Bills of this world are the ones taking the piss out pete, not those of us who have no time for creationist nonsense and the harm their influence is having on our children.""

Indeed so, that is exactly why I suggested others back off with thedisrupting insults to Pete, and let Bill D have this discussion with Pete, which I recall he requested a few times, and I suspect has not completed. Contrary to what you say, some folks here seems to be plenty of time for that, versus giving Bill some room for his OP discussion.

On the face of it, it seems to be lacking in logic that pete holding a belief hurts anyone ellse. Do you have evidence Musket, that pete is promoting his belief on creation in schools, to children. If so, you should present it, and I suspect that would matter to other folks here.
