Nice grand-slam + 1 Sammie.# 5 in a row has got to be a new record.
Stockwell might not have moved in the same circles as the holocaust-deniers (though it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he had) but he most definitely hangs out with fanatical close-minded idiots.
He believes (and doesn't deny that he believes it) that the earth is 6000 years old and that humans interacted with dinosaurs.# In other words, he is an idiot.# Anyone who believes that is an idiot.# The people that he hangs out with that believe this are idiots.# Fanatical, close-minded idiots.

That seems like a pretty close-minded statement to me.
I've met Stockwell Day a few times. H's a very likable person with a great sense of humor who cares a great deal about people. In my judgment, he would never impose his beliefs on others. His advice to people who lobbied him about funding for private education was to tell them, "If you want more funding for private education, move the political fences. Until then I can do nothing for you."

I suppose it is a close-minded statement. I'm a pretty open-minded guy, but nobody is ever going to convince me to even consider the hocus-pocus and silly superstition that Stockwell Day believes in.
I don't care if he's the nicest guy in town -- if he believes that the earth is 6000 years old he is an idiot.[/b][/quote]
I suppose that you're a strong believer in evolution and that we all walked out of the ocean two-by-two as fish, procreated, multiplied and eventually evolved into man and woman billions of years down the evolution chain. All by chance and without a creator.
Even if you're a big believer in the big bang theory, there had to be something to go "bang" in the first place, and something had to cause it to go "bang".
You would have to have a pretty firm belief system to be sold on evolution. I wonder how many people REALLY think the theory of evolution through from beginning to end. It requires exact timing for male and female of each species to arrive on earth at same time, find each other, and multiply.
Who makes the greater step in faith to believe what they believe? The Christian or the evolutionist? Who is more involved in "hocus-pocus and silly superstition"?
