Dead right. Fundamentalists use it all the time.
Folk in the UK will know that an organisation called "Christian Voice" successfully pressured a Cancer charity to not accept £3000 from a performance of the Jerry Springer Opera. They made it look like they were mainstream opinion, a big organisation. In reality, they are one lunatic with a fixation about gay police, and a tiny group of followers. Apparently when they picketed a play once, they managed 20 people including a load bussed in from Wales. But they seemed big when they talked big.
Take "Creation Science Evangelism" - sounds like a big organisation. It's not. It's Kent Hovind, his sons and half a dozen hangers-on. ICR and AiG are the same. Big web presence, actual organisation size miniscule, compared with any other shared interest scientific organisation. But you can't tell how big someone is from their website. The Internet has been an absolute boon for the Fundamentalist pufferfish.

It's probably a good idea if you actually make your posts make sense in the light of the post you're citing. Just a tip.Avtoritet said:Well said. Another vote that evolutionism is not science, and to keep it out of the science classroom.

creationism is based on the scientific principles and can be easily read as science. hey anything is possible.

no it is not.
you mean people can be fooled into thinking it's science. it's not.
creationist theories have either been falsified already, or are not falsifiable. either way, they are not scientific.

name 1 scientific principle that creationism is based on.
have you actually studied any science? it is NOT easily read.
check out physics, you know what it says---there are lots of things that are not possible. in fact, most of the things you dream and imagine are NOT possible. that is why they remain dreams and are never actualized.
but hey. do just the one thing.
