Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
You miss my point, Steve. It was not whether creationism is stupid or not, it was, having recognised we are unlikely to persuade Pete of that, simply repeatedly making the same point it is the most beneficial thing we can do.

And as you well know, the term creationists refers to a whole host of things, like the literal interpretation of Genesis, the idea that the earth is around 6000 years old, that all the fossil evidence is misinterpreted and much more. Not just that God was involved in creation. Taking that one aspect and saying that everyone who thinks that God (whatever that means) was involved (ditto) in creation (ditto again) is also a creationist is at the very least unwise because of the confusion it will cause.
