For the most part, I was kidding. You are right in the lower end of the spectrum hold the most voting power. I can't insult them, I find myself on that side as often as not.
We all do outside our respective fields of expertise, or in some cases, our fields of interested amature.

Now, here are a few more questions. What is your opinion on a veiw that teaches evolution alongside a creator to help explain parts of the big bang that can't be scientifically explained.
It's still not science. So I oppose it's inclusion in science classes. As a part of a theocracy module in a philosophy class, however, I don;t mind it.

Or, what about a creation that allows for a 6-7 billion year old earth.
See above.

Is this gluide against all creationism, or just young earth?
The guilds aimes are stated on the front page. I will only speak for myself here.
I'm against any sort of creation myth being taught in science classes, or even being taught at all with the suggestion that it is anything more than a religious opinion. I am against any erosion of the respectability of scientific study by the inclusion of unknown, and empericially ((Is this even a word?)) unknowable, entities. I am against, what I see as, a push by the Chrisitan right to get dogma into schools.

Now, here is another question. Do humans still evolve?
Yeah, Chibiartstudios posted some good stuff about this in a thread on the subject in the science and tech subforum of ED. Check it out.

It seems unlike all other animals, we have the ability to not just change ourselves to suit nature, but to change nature to suit ourselves.
We're the only animals able to think properly, why is it then surprising that we are the only ones capable of long term planning and such?

Also, on the side note, what do you think of someone who claims not to believe in God using 'OMG' in a post.
Depends on context. It could be trolling, it could be a simple joke, or anything in between.

Oh, and one final question. You seem to fault Christians for pushing their beliefs, but according to what they believe, are nto they doing the right thing?
Irrelevant. Whether they think they are correct or not, they are pushing their religion down peoples throats. And to many of us non-believers it leaves a foul taste in our mouths. Mostly because those who push the hardest are, usually, those who hold the more extreme views on the subject.
Also I am uncomfortable with zealots or any pursuasion. Religious or otherwise.
You seem to have gotten the wrong impression of this guild, many people here are religious, and many are christian, including some of our most respected members. We are not anti-religion, or anti-christian.

One final question, have you ever met a Flat Earth Believer? I have only met one once.
Met in person? Hell no, I avoid them where possible.
Online? Yeah. They pop up from time to time, not very often though. They don't usually last too often though. Apparently their faith doesn't protect them from derisive laughter and mountains of evidence.
