I hate Creationists. Not because they're wrong. Everyone is wrong about stuff at some time, I've been wrong that I know of plenty of times.
I hate them because they're either lying or crazy. Every one of them.
For an example of the lying kind, see Expelled. This Ben Stein-hosted documentary purports to show that "intelligent design" (Creationism pretending to be science) is excluded from the halls of academe because Big Science doesn't want to hear any dissent. Oh, and Darwin caused the Holocaust.
It's just plain lies. What isn't outright lying is mere distortion. They lied to their interview subjects, repeatedly. The movie itself is a string of lies. It's the antithesis of science, which depends on honesty. (I'm not claiming that all scientists are totally honest, but nothing angers a real scientist more than dishonest reporting of results.)
And when you think about it, lying to make a point sure sounds like false witness.

Utterly disgusting. I'd say that the whole creationist claim of prejudice by the scientific institution is laughable, but it's really just so ugly that I can't even crack a smile.

Bad Idea
Note that the central figure in the discussion initially doesn't even allow any comments at all, then (in his followup) demands that any comments be limited to discussion of the film itself by people who've actually wasted money on it.
There's no way to reach these people - their minds are closed as firmly as a clam's. Which reminds me of another type of religious wacko, come to think of it....
