A Standard Response to Creationist Troll Posts
Created | Updated Feb 9, 2005
The entry is provided for those who are fed up posting the same replies on messageboards to creationists who never listen. It is not intended to be a reply to the post, merely a warning flag to passing readers. If they see this reply to a creationist post, and read it, they will know that they do not need to take it seriously.
Feel free to copy and paste the following paragraphs as you feel the need:
"This post is from a creationist who believes that the biblical account of the creation in Genesis is based on sound science. They use false or distorted evidence and call it "creation science" to prove that the theory of evolution is incorrect - they usually copy and paste material from creationist websites, with little understanding of what they are copying. The material on creationist websites is usually dressed up in scientific language, but the science is often incorrect, and usually ignores evidence that disagrees with their ideas. A number of creationist websites have been found to contain bad misquotes, material taken out of context and even outright lies.
The poster of the original question usually fails to respond to replies, or quotes the bible as 'scientific' evidence. Many of them consider that scientists who do not agree with Genesis are part of an atheist conspiracy to try to disprove the existence of God - in spite of many scientists being Christians!
If you think this poster has posed a question worth answering, first check your forehead (you may be feeling a little feverish). If you find that you are not suffering a viral infection, check out the website Talk Origins (a google search will find it for you), and if that doesn't help, post your own question here and we will attempt to give you an answer that contains some genuine, unbiased science.
Have a nice day, y'hear?"
