"Holding creationist views in the face of years of scientific evidence is no stupider than holding these economic views in the face of a hundred years of critical thinking and real-world observation."
Impossible to argue with that. We just have to agree on what the definition of "these" ees.
"Of all the dangerous and idiotic beliefs held by those with political power in this country, a belief in God creating the world is not exactly number one on my list."
I'll simply point out here that your rhetoric has become increasingly self-centered lately. If you're going to bring up a topic without making a coherent arguement, don't blame it on your lack of concern.
