And I think that "creationist" people can have valid perspectives on many things other than their creationism, so it's best to disregard that topic with them and move onto other things.

Just as, I suppose, racists, homophobes, white supremecists, Holocaust deniers, "supply-side" economists, batshit crazy doctors (well, maybe not Dr. Batshit Crazy) & etc can have valid perspectives on many other things, so it's best to disregard their racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism & etc. and move onto other things.

Gotcha, Joe.
