Dear me.

I must have the wrong definition of "creationist/creationism" then, eh?
In terms of numbers and in terms of weighing upon decission makers (especially in matters of public education) America is more creationist than the UK.

How many attempts to sneak in creationist talking points in the school curriculums?
I think I'll just take that point about creationism in America with a grain of salt, rather than chase goal posts.

You keep saying it wouldn't have violated the initial seeding, but what I'm saying is it would violate evolution if this is how life was seeded. You say we have plenty of evidence how dinosaurs etc went extinct, but do we. One minute we are told it was a large meteor, then it was volcanic activity, then it was that they suffocated because the oxygen content of the air reduced. It seems to me nobody knows what happened. Whatever happened, it was pretty quick. Haven't fossils of dinosaurs been found where they were still eating? volcanic eruptions would certainly cause me to abandon a meal, so would a meteor strike. I also believe those those fossils were formed in sedimentary rock, so that creates an argument for both those ideas.

Swallow your salt very good, my friend...
You too:

And note from the same source:

In 1961 there were 7 registered mosques -- now there are 1500.

Don't lay creationism down at our doorstep as "mainly an American phenomenon," when Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in Europe.

I wonder who is more "creationist," America or England?

American creationists are the same as Britian's Muslim population, then?

You have an interesting choice of allies, AV.

Muslims also want Sharia Law.
Some Muslims practice genital Mutilation on their young girls.
Muslims believe it is ok to kill a woman for suspected adultery
Muslims believe that it is ok to marry girls as young as 12

But if they believe in Evolution they are so much better than American Creationists...well everyone has a right to their own opinion. :o

LOL you don't get the point. What we believe IS our reality. If you believe nothing, then you have NO reality.

In Pakistan there were some teenager girls shot and killed because they dared to go on protest, for equal rights in education. Still, the Koran basically says a female is nothing more than something on the bottom of a mans shoe.
I believe Jewish law states you can be married at 11 years old? but of course they no longer practice that.
Which God do Muslims believe in? none. There are prayers in the Koran to ask for the power of deceit. Who do Christians call the Deceiver? it is not God.

Some Muslims not all.

Really, I could be wrong but I doubt that there are very many that don't.

Most creationists think children conceived through rape should not be aborted.

That has got to be the most horrendous crime against humanity that I've ever heard! How dare creationists value life.

Some creationists think it's OK to kill someone for looking at their wives.

Where? Islamic creationists? However, it is not ok to kill anyone in the Christian faith.

American creationists have been doing that for years. Jerry Lee Lewis for one.

Most creationists deliberately keep their children dumb to keep them creationists.

Ask anyone who is not a creationists what is the first thing that comes to mind when they think 'creationist' and they will tell you what?

You tell me.

So all you want is the ability to dictate reality?
