>>I still need to post about the creationist got-ya games.<<

No need, I am familiar with them.

They ask you a pointed question where one answer supposedly proves creation, ID, whatever. The other answer supposedly rules you out from giving an opinion. The assumptions are hidden from you until you reply. Two tipoffs is they ask ‘what you think?” and say “It's a simple question”.

Rather than repeat their example here, I remember a Chris Mathews got-ya he uses frequently: “Do you think gays were born that way?”. If you answer no, then 1) you are ill informed (your opinion is invalid) and 2) He demands you prove how you know that. If you answer yes then since they were born with a sexual desire, basic human rights demand we allow them to act it out. For very few things liberals use this assumption.

But this is what creationists call scientific debate. Heads I win, tails you lose.
