Derick Gillies, of the Free Church of Scotland, said there was an unbalanced debate between those believing in creationism and those believing in evolution.

To my mind the real debate is between science and 'rational' Christians - whether one can really reconcile the two or whether the one flat out disproves the other.6. Comment #154951 by Steve Zara on April 4, 2008 at 3:01 am
Creationism is just a gibbering idiot frothing on the sidelines, it doesn't really belong in this debate at all.

So Robertson turns out to be a creationist?8. Comment #154955 by Quetzalcoatl on April 4, 2008 at 3:04 am

Well while atheists "come out", Robertson was outed as a creationist. Got to ask him next time..12. Comment #154961 by Steve Zara on April 4, 2008 at 3:09 am

If Robertson is not a creationist, then it is even more unethical for him to join the creationist chorus to demand "balance", because he is asking for equal time for what even he himself considers lies.17. Comment #154972 by Steve Zara on April 4, 2008 at 3:19 am

EDIT- Robertson isn't a creationist, his Bedford talk made that clear. Some in FCOS are, however.

This may only be my naive little brain being unable to ascend to higher thoughts, but to what extent are religious people ever not creationists to some extent?21. Comment #154984 by scottishgeologist on April 4, 2008 at 3:31 am

This "unbalanced debate" silliness reminds me of something Bertrand Russell said: "Religion is just the traditionalists fighting in vain against new knowledge." It is an unbalanced debate all right, just not in the way the religionists envision it.25. Comment #154990 by Ichneumonid on April 4, 2008 at 3:43 am

No, I don't think Robertson is a creationist - but he is a dishonest, opportunistic little bigot of a man who will use, abuse or distort anything he can lay his sweaty hands on in order to make himself feel important and worthwhile. I really don't think it matters to him what is actually true or not, just whether he can use it to score points in his own crazy little game of self-aggrandisement.

I've seen this several times on this site. "He" becomes "they." Comments about a specific person are taken as comments about a group of people. That's a mistake we ought to avoid.No, I don't think Robertson is a creationist - but he is a dishonest, opportunistic little bigot of a man...*snip*I don't think it is fair to call these people dishonest...*snip*

Sandy Shaw. Charismaniac nutter (apologies - tautology there) Stood as a candidate for the homophobic "Scottish Christian party" in last years Holyrood elections.

Matt7895: I hope Richard also told that woman that chimpanzees certainly did NOT evolve into humans.Yes! That came up in a different context too, when the chairman (who was otherwise very good, I thought) asked: "So if we evolved from chimpanzees, how come there are still chimpanzees?" This was not a highlight of the event.
