Untrue, minds do get changed. I used to argue for a 6000 year old earth, and I did so not based on science but based on belief that scripture was inerrant and then went about to find or (mostly) make up science that fit my belief. So I know exactly of which I speak.

I agree, I have asked that many times in this thread already. The problem is the ID proponents specifically and
some creationists in general make an issue out of things because they feel it threatens some aspect of their beliefs. If someone's going to try to drag us back into the dark ages, I for one will fight back.

However, the condescending nonsense posted above is so far over the top it's embarrassing.

Hyperbole is a legitimate form of humour, if someone can't laugh at themselves then they're taking life too seriously.
Some of the claims made by ID and creationism are so demonstrably false that the ideas SHOULD be ridiculed; what other response is there?

A lot of table-pounding by some to declare how correct they are.
Weak.

Oh no, someone was assertive about something, help us all!
