Define "creationist" then I will answer.

do you believe there is any literal truths to the account of the creation of the world in the books of genesis?

As to your other comments, read your last post and you will see just how intolerant and closed-minded your views are, with comments like: "this is false. so stop saying it."

not really, given that this opinion is informed after rigorous study of large ammounts of literature from numerous sources around the world over many decades. sounds more like a broad, tolerant, open minded attitude. this understanding of the literature lead to reviewing the conventional wisdom regarding homosexuality, something that does not happen in science unless the evidence is there to support it.

do you really think your comments reflect a broad minded, tolerant attitude?

To continue your Iraqi analogy, you sound rather like Saddam at his peak.

does anyone else think so?

he lied, he used religious propaganda to give himself legitimacy, he actively sought to misrepresent evidence, or ignored it. he focussed on biased findings that were designed to make him look good. he refused to accept he was in the wrong in the face of undeniable evidence. he repeated the same lines and the same lies over and over until people were sick of hearing it.

someone on this forum sounds like Saddam though.....
