I do recall you mentioned you spent some time having fun with
creationists. I can see where the laughs are coming from.
I've read the Answers in Genesis website and there's really only two
things one can do after reading that, and that is to get seriously
depressed about the fact that such folks exist or have a good laugh
about it. And then try to prevent those folks imposing their abysmal
ignorance on the rest of humanity. There was a time when I wouldn't
believe that some folks actually commit the fallacy of 'the Bible is
true because the Bible says so', but these folks have opened my eyes!

Just the other day a parent at my kid's primary school told me, in all
seriousness, that while of course she "believed in" evolution and
didn't doubt the existence of dinosaurs, she didn't think there was any
evidence at all of the evolution of Homo sapiens. Never having actually
met a loon of this stripe before, I smothered my giggles and moved
away...very...slowly...
