Congratulations.

Feel free to attribute the rest of this post to sour grapes at you getting something you wrote featured on a big famous blog before I did, but:

Come on. You're still trying to make fun of creationism? Didn't P.J. O'Rourke say something like that arguing against creationists was like using a high-powered scope rifle to hunt dairy cows? It's not an intellectual challenge, and you know most likely no creationists are ever going to read your argument unless you deliberately put it somewhere lots of creationists tend to go, which I don't think you will. So what's the point, except signallng that you're part of the scientific community and have a suitable level of disdain for the out-group?

That being said, it's a very witty piece, as of course I would expect from you.

Eh... there wasn't much trying in it, really . I just happened to be thinking of something about creationism - might have been a VenomFangX video or something - and the thought "so if you were a child once, does that mean it's OK for you to always act like a kid?" popped into my head. The rest just fell out of following the same parallel.

Yeah, okay, maybe I just get too touchy about that particular pet peeve. Congratulations in any case.

Yes, well done. I found it to be an interesting read.
