[jungle]

Is it more dangerous to ignore them and let them go unchallenged or to challenge them and provide them with some credibility?

I'd say live and let live.

Despite my recent actions, I think the second is more dangerous. As someone said (Dawkins,Dennett?) "Looks great on your CV, not so good on mine."

I wish to fawk there was a mythbusters forum for tackling absolute nonsense
such as creationism and goat worshipping despots in waiting.
Its amazing how easily supposedly bright, educated people fall in to these psychological traps.

The enlightenment is indeed under threat.

You're always on to a loser with creationist as they don't have a logical basis for their views.

Just insult and ridicule them - works for me.

The liberal/left is always expected to remain calm and logical when confronted with people saying we will go to hell because we don't believe the Earth is only 6,000 or so years old.

You reminded me of a group at the republican convention during the last US presedential election called Gays against Abortion. Lead spokesperson, "Everyone hates us".
