Close.Religious people.
Yep, it's called the b i b l e.Close.
Which came first: the belief, or the [two-volume] documentation?
SOMEONE had to eventually write it down, and Satan had just the ones to do it.
The Scopes trial wasn't about challenging creationism. It was about the fact that teaching human evolution was made illegal in Tennessee and that John Scopes was in violation of that law.
I'm speaking in a modern sense though. Knowledge continuously progresses throughout human history. Creationists have been actively trying to impede that progress, specifically by impeding science education.
The Butler Act in Tennessee (as highlighted by the Scopes trial) is a prime example of that.
Still does not negate the fact that it was not the creationists who impeded upon the evolutionists.
Creationism was being taught in Tennessee. Evolution was a "johnny come lately" theory in the grand scheme of the history of human beliefs about origins.
On average, which of the two, Creationists or Evolutionists, would you say is likely more qualified and prepared through education (H.S., college, informal, seminary) to discuss the other’s belief intelligently? I’ll bet Creationists have far more science education than Evolutionists have theology education.Knowledge continuously progresses throughout human history.

That would be a good thing for evolutionists to keep in mind when playing the 'ignorance card.'

Yet, I've never met a creationist with anything more than a PRATT list and a straw man. As for theology, most atheists on this board used to be Christians.
I knew what I was replying to.You're replying to a "no message", since I inadvertently hit the enter key in the midst of replying. I've since edited my post; you can go back and reply to what I wrote.
Look for one if you like, but after two days of discussion about religion not being allowed in public school, you'd think my statement would be obvious.I'd want to see a study.
Are you gonna reply to me, or not?Are you going to reply to what I have since posted or no?

Nice try... my last statement?I did. I edited my post. That was my reply to your question.
Actually it wasn't the creationists who "picked the fight". Prior to 1925; creationism was the the only theory of origin of the universe taught in schools in America. The first case to challenge that was the Scopes trial in 1925.
Darwin didn't write "Origin of the Species" until 1859; and ideas of origin outside of a religious context didn't exist until the 1830's. In all the thousands of years of history prior to this; all questions of origin of life were always couched in a religious belief system.
