"Real" ringworlds

[Krsqk]

Is it just me, or is there a gross mischaracterization of creationists and evolutionists going on here? At least in my circle, I don't know of any "we have all the answers" creationists. And you're also lumping all creationists in with your dislike of "Bible-belt" Christians, which I'm sure any Buddhist or Muslim (or Viking, for that matter) would take great issue with.

While we're tossing ad hominem attacks around, why not discuss the evolutionist who says (or at least behaves), "We may not have all the answers, but at least we don't believe in some religious superstition"? Isn't that as bigoted and closed-minded as the people about whom you take issue?

In all the times I have discussed creation/evolution with evolutionists, I have not been accused of being closed-minded about science; but I have been accused of being closed-minded because I would not accept macroevolution and origins theory as more scientific than creation. That reflects a mindset of superiority and a refusal to distinguish between belief and science.

[edit] Maybe the thread title should be edited to more accurately reflect its contents. Primogenitor?
