Does belief in unsupported creation theories necessitate pseudoscience?

In my country we have a saying: " On the deaf man's door you can knock all you want". Likewise: With AV1 you can debate all you want! AV1; I suspect, would dismiss God himself; if God came to him and told him that evolution is a proven theory.
It is sad that one such as AV1 (who has shown to us in many posts that he truly possesses a good grasp of general knowledge) should act in a way that only ignorant people do.

AV1 I will pray for you to finally see the light of the BIB BANG :D

For professional creationists like Ken Ham, talking about mutation and natural selection is kind of like talking about rungs and beams of a ladder.

In one text they'll say:
"Okay, so there are rungs. In theory you could climb up them but without something to hold them in place they're useless. Ladder theory is really just a pile of sticks."

And then elsewhere.
"Okay, so there are beams. But those are just two poles. It's impossible to climb up them. Ladder theory is just a pile of sticks."

And the two step continues ad nauseum.

I have very little patience (and absolutely no respect) for people who play dumb.

thats really odd coming from you. You expect people you answer your challenges by playing dumb and not reading into them. Your ignore the the people who see through your facade, Then when someone does play dumb, you fire your loaded question that everyone saw a mile away. The car fiasco comes to mind.

I have no patience and no respect for people who show no respect for their own theology by using lies and deceit to convince others of its truthfulness.

Av, bacteria mutates, a virus mutates, it doesn't evolve.

If one of those mutations confers and advantage, and that mutation becomes more prominent in the population over time, then evolution has occurred. This is easily demonstrated in the Luria-Delbruck fluctuation assay and the Lederberg-Lederberg plate replica experiment. In those experiments phage resistance and antimicrobial resistance, respectively, emerge through random mutation and become the predominant phenotype.
