[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And creationists disagree.  [/quote]

That doesn't mean that viewpoint is worthy of respect or deference of any sort. It's not something you agree to disagree over.[/quote]
So you teach your kids to disrespect any viewpoint that differs from yours?  I just thought we were way past this.[/quote]

Not at all, but some things can be dismissed immediately as demonstrably false. If you tell me a cat is a dog, and I can see it's a dog, I don't have to respect your viewpoint just because you have it.

There should be no viewpoints in this case. The facts are indisputable. This is not a question of interpretation -- it is a matter of fact. Creationists "believe" something that's contrary to demonstrable fact. So, no, their "beliefs" aren't valid because I can prove them wrong, dispassionately.

Similarly, do I have to respect the viewpoint of people who think George W. Bush orchestrated 9-11? Because that's what you're arguing.
