Will creationists ever catch on that addressing evolution questions to "Atheists", is admission of defeat?

Fundamentalist Creationists really believe that you can't believe in God unless you accept biblical literalism and inerrancy. It follows that someone like, say, Pope John Paul II who accepts the fact of evolution is actually an atheist.

Maybe the increased number of these Qs is because the end of semester is approaching for Dembski's trolls, who get credit for trashing evolution in public forums.

Well, let's see...

Evolution works by trail and error, 'admitting' failure by letting individuals without a required beneficial mutation or those with a unsuitable one to die off and/or fail to reproduce.

Creationists, if they are to be coherent, would deny themselves a capacity to learn from their mistake.

So I guess catching up on their incoherence is probably beyond the intellectual capacity of most creationists.

By addressing their question to atheists, at the extreme opposite range of their own belief as far as fundamentalism and literal (and quite stubbornly limited) interpretation of the bible; they more or less feel empowered to take on the unmovable object with their 'irresistible' force; except that they are just like 15 year old kids jumping in the ring against Georges St-Pierre...

So... no. They will not learn. Otherwise they would already have understood a few things.

I do not believe that they actually notice this mistake, nor agree that it IS, in fact, a mistake.

Creationists are under the misapprehension that "true Christians" don't accept evolution, when in fact the evolution-deniers are a small minority in this world. The US just happens to have a large proportion of those deniers, and they are VERY loud. They also wear their ignorance of science like a badge of honor, but that is beside the point.

A creationist will never accept the reality in front of them- that evolution is NOT a controversy in the scientific community, that the vast majority of Christians in the world understand that evolution is how the world works, and that evolution has absolutely nothing to do with the existence (or not) of their god.

Though, you are certainly more statistically likely to have an atheist who has a degree in one of the "hard" sciences than a Christian. We make up only 8% (or less) of the US population but 40% of scientists in the "hard" fields (biology, chemistry, physics).

As a world-renowned award-winning Creationist I can tell you most plainly that the mistake made by some Creationists is in asking questions at all.

God did it, final answer.

When you have the Final Answer, you stop looking for other answers.

if christians are pinning their hopes of the validity of their faith on the absence of evolution, then they are already proven wrong. Even something is simple as getting a seasonal flu shot is an admission of the existence of evolution.

Yeah its a pretty bad strategy...but what do you expect?

I would even just say its a bad strategy and leave it at that because they are trying to win, not discover truth.

You're trying to make sense out of 'belief' arguments. Belief is simple, you either do or don't. Atheism is a type of religion, they 'believe' God doesn't exist and they will have just as much success 'proving' their belief as will the people who 'believe' God does exist. The rational approach says that if you can't 'prove' it then you're an agnostic Just the same you can't 'prove' the next bus is coming but you live in hope - maybe that's a better answer, there are people who live in hope.

Why don't you got down to Mississippi and show them some fossils? Take a display of fossils with you.

I've never seen such a question, so your question seems to me to be rather irrelevant.

Most of the questions I have seen are asked by those who believe in Evolution, not the Bible.

Creationists take pleasure in questioning atheists while atheists are swearing and sweating. So who's really winning?

Atheists should be booted out for a violation of community standards. If insulting people is a YA crime then insulting God and the people who love good is a much bigger failure.

In general conversation with no common ground of agreement is pointless.
