Ah, you guys almost had me going for a moment there, then I read the following:

If they show humility and openness they'll be greeted with friendly people happy to educate them.
Here is how I interpret this comment. There is no argument, no debate to be had, the question is completely settled, and we will only tolerate anyone who does question if and only if they will humbly admit their ignorance and let us teach them the error of their ways. Outside of this narrow construct, cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war.
Then there is this gem:

There isn't much else to do for someone who lives in the real world but mock the ideas of creationists.
Nice to know you guys have something to live for. Compared to such mundane concerns as children, a wife recovering from cancer, balancing a career and attempting to hold to ones beliefs, it is amazing that I havent realized the importance in the real world of mocking the ideas of others. Is that part of the education?

the next generation is the future of our species, we better make dam sure we don't retard them with creation "science".
Or proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar, I suppose. But tell me, random, who is going to get to make this decision concerning exactly what is taught the next generation? And who is going to enforce it on the parents of the next generation? Strictly atheist? Because they are not delusional?

Oh not to worry. The Chinese and Indians wont be wasting any time on that, the human species wont be affected by creation science, or voodoo.
Or compassion either, I suppose:
Report: China remains world's top executioner
Quote:
The number of prisoners put to death worldwide decreased in 2008, a human rights group said Wednesday, adding that China retained its position as the world's top executioner.
The report said China accounted for at least 5,000 executions or 87.3 percent of the total the same estimate as last year.

Congratulations! Godless adherence to principal triumphs again!! Oh, and I am curious, do the Chinese and the Indians account for the sum total of the human species? Or are you implying on a Freudian level that someday, the Chinese and the Indians will rule the human species and be in a position of dictating belief?
Why would anti religion, anti crationism (sic) be 'infused"?
In the same sense that anti-liberalism is infused into holding conservative values. You guys can scream all you want about how evolutionary theory makes no attempt to disprove the existence of god because in the context you say that it is an accurate statement. What you ignore is the default built-in assumption of evolutionary theory that there is no god, no creator, no design other than that which occurred randomly.
I ignored this before, but in post number 40 you stated:
I send some of this back to China.
Why? So you guys can twitter about how stupid and ignorant Americans really are? You think a belief in god alone accounts for that?
As for the other issue you raised in post number 40, I do not need you to straighten anything out for me. You made yourself clear with your original comment, and from here nothing else need be said concerning that issue.
