Also, the observation that almost anyone other than a creationist would be able to get past a line that specifically insults creationists, is not that surprising.

edit - It is a great article, that for the most part deals with a very complex subject really well. I am just saying that the philosophical point scoring in the introduction added nothing to it and has then had a damaging effect on the discussion of it here, where that sentence has triggered the largest thread, to the detriment of the rest of the actual content.

If creationists are supposed to just get over being insulted, presumably atheists can also get over a single comment by a creationist asking not to be.
