Peter: I disagree. I met that friend, and he's not even the smartest creationist I have met, but he isn't even close to your level. Not remotely. I think it somewhat unlikely there are creationists at your level (Richard Smalley included) and would be astounded if there were any at mine. Well... I mean avowed and sincere biblical literalists, there might be all sorts of doctrines that could be called creationist.
