But I'd be much more interested in your response to my question... why
bother with this scientific creationist nonsense? Why do you creationists
have this inexplicable need to try to prove a myth real in the face of
overwhelming countervailing evidence?

Democracy, individual human rights and the concept of "property" are all
myths too, and myths with much shorter history in human culture than the
idea of a divine creator. They're also less rational than belief in God. If
we accept a literal understanding of the Bible as axiomatic, then
creationism makes sense as an undertaking.

Well, this is an interesting take! Do expound, sounds like fertile ground
for discussion, unlike creationism.

I would think that property and rights are inventions before I'd think they
were myths.
