I like this guy Thunderf00t, mainly because you can learn science from him and he does not get involved in name-calling etc. I am a creationist in the sense that I believe god created everything, but I don't need to make false claims to keep that belief.

I agree with him that creationist arguments can be refuted by science pretty easily, although he does take examples from the most ignorant such as Kent Hovind etc.

Also, he exposes PZ Myers for his jerkiness.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5:15-17)

Thunderf00t doesn't get involved with name-calling?! And you mentioned PZ? Thunderf00t may not name-call, but he is particularly dishonest, rude and insulting towards PZ. It's Thunderf00t who is the jerk in that dispute.

Have you looked at PZ's response(s)?

I will look into it. I have not seen all PZ's responses or all of Thunderf00ts video's. I did see him in a conversation with westborough babtist people and with ray comfort without getting rude or snotty. That is what I based my statement on. Not a big sample to be sure. I do like these video's though.

That's because PZ is a hysterical idiot.

Warning: off topic.

I beg to differ old bean. The histrionics coming from the FTB 'in-crowd' regarding t'f00t initially and 'that' t-shirt latterly would, in my opinion exhonerate t'f00t of all charges.
Let's not forget that t'f00t got banned for daring to suggest that sexism was not the priority for sceptics. A statement I'll agree with as long as Hovind and his ilk draw breath.

"Frazier is so ugly he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life."

"I am America. I am the part you won't recognize, but get used to me. Black, confident, cocky. My name, not yours. My religion, not yours. My goals, my own. Get used to me."

"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth."

---- Muhammad Ali

If you have evidence for that claim, please present it.

Nobody else is disagreeing with it, either. Not even anyone at FtB.

But let's continue this discussion in this thread, please.
