Isn't it interesting that all of them share your beliefs. Did you know that beliefs are limiting factors which is why scientists go to great lengths to eliminate the influence of their beliefs.Yockey, Fred Hoyle, Axe, and others.

Sorry to be late to the party.... a disagreement over basic reality?
I find a lot of discussions with creationists seem to be boil down to disagreement over the nature of reality. And I'm not sure that there is a way to bridge such disagreement.
Not in this day and age. There are ton and tons of material available for free on the internet. Suitable for all levels of understanding, from the "... made easy" to highly academical textbooks.It's not that creationists aren't smart people, just that they have been intentionally misinformed. They have been misinformed about science and they have been misinformed about the beliefs of other Christians. It's really sad.
Learning anything real about science on your own is difficult and requires some amount of application and effort. It's hard to take that initiative if you are an ordinary person without much real basic education in science (and perhaps not even much interest in it) when your trusted religious leaders are constantly hammering on you to believe that you are the only real Christians, the only real theists, and all others are atheists trying to undermine the basis of your faith. Why should a person make the effort to learn about science if he has been taught from childhood that it's a satanic lie?Not in this day and age.

See the people here. As Subduction Zone posted yesterday; when he proposes to go ver the basics of science, he gets crickets (as he put it).
Same for, I looked for links about the scientific method and the nature of science, to be dismissed less than 5 minutes (see the exchange between NBB and me: What is the Falsification for Abiogenesis and Theory of Evolution?).
By now the ignorance of creationists is nothing more than self perpetuating stupidity.
Which is the very description of self perpetuating stupidity. And maybe I don't blame the young people. But the adults in charge are greatly responsible. Worse, your government should intervene and set standards. Your country (and hence humanity) is wasting a huge potential.Learning anything real about science on your own is difficult and requires some amount of application and effort.

The government has set standards, which is why the State of Arkansas is attempting to resist them.Which is the very description of self perpetuating stupidity.

Yeah, learning science requires an effort.
Learning calculus is harder than simply believing in god.
Learning genetics is harder than simply believing in god.
learning geology is harder than simply believing in god.
Learning histology is harder than simply believing in god.
Creationists are basically lazy.
And learning about something which you have been thoroughly indoctrinated to believe is a satanic lie is harder than simply believing in God.And a fw days ago I wrote:

After completing his PhD at Caltech, he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre. His research, which examines the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems, has been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, BIO-Complexity, and Nature,
