With hindsight I regret the use of the word "dumb". My apologies to all offended. There is often some remarkable cleverness deployed in clinging to creationism. I guess "wrong" was the word I wanted.
To respond: True, but taking the bible (well, Genesis) literally is the first wrong thing. Anything which follows from that, logically connected though it may be, inherits the wrongness of the first move.
To take a single book literally, and deny/ignore the overwhelming contrary evidence from all of the rest of reality... well I can understand how some people end up in that mental trap, but its just so lopsided as a way of assessing the evidence.
But no, I don't want to get into an evolution Vs. creation debate. Been there, done that, yawn. Two groups with their minds made up clubbing each other with their beliefs. Meh.
So if you want a lost word, it's yours:
