Feel free to provide some evidence that Creationists and AGW deniers are fundamentally different if you can. For starters: 1) Both claim the respective fields of science they are bashing are "religions". You are a great example of this BTW. 2) Both claim that the respective fields of science they are bashing are full of "psuedo-science" 3) Both have very strong motivation for not wanting to believe the respect fields of science. In the case of creationists, the Bible told them it was not true, and they believe the Bible rather than any amount of data. In the case of AGW bashers, it is usually an economist told them it would not be good if AGW were true, therefore it must not be true, independent of any amount of data. 4) Both have not a prayer of a clue of offering up a unified counter theory that can remotely cover the data available. 5) Both are based on appeals to ignorance (the God of the Gaps argument) as their fundamental "proof" that the respective science is incorrect. 6) Both are overwhelmingly of the same political spectrum: Right-wing Conservatives. How about a short list showing why they are not the same?
