Do creationists enrage you?
Or can you not be bothered to care if they say that the credibility of the theory of evolution sucks because they can say that it's just as probable as throwing a pig into a tub of grease and expect it to come out shaped like a straw of grass?
I've come to the conclusion that such discussions must come to and end. It's a waste of time and money.

After I realised it has very little bearing on anything we should do I sort of stopped caring. Now I like to think that the earth was created eight seconds ago by a giant bunny rabbit oribiting Pluto in a cloaked ship.

I ask them to prove the great creator wasn't called Collin.

They annoy me less than people who have very little knowledge of science ranting on about the merits of scientific theory X, and how anyone who disagrees with it is a luddite.

opinionated idiots of all colours annoy me, it just happens i'm a biologist. although i do argue with creationists in the genuine hope of changing some one's mind, or at least making them more informed, rather than out of pure anger (and a bit to show off, i admit).
nod, considering how staggeringly simple the basics of evolution are (if also subtle and far-reaching), and how plentiful and simple the evidence*, i don't have a problem with laymen supporting evolution. Darwin was a layman by today's standards, and most of his arguments remain cogent. This is especially the case because most attacks come from the equally ill- or mis-informed, so that they can be defeated by a parrot trained to say "you've misunderstood the concept of entropy" over and over again.
In summary, i agree with Ed.
*"How very stupid not to have thought of that!", Thomas Huxley remarked of Darwin and Russell's paper to the Linnean (royal?) Society.
EDIT: and if you thought this was a long post, i'm trying to stave off the temptation to buy new computer bits on www.ebuyer.com

creationists bore me, as generally they come across as one track records.
