I am an athiest, and I was slow to come around to this whole "truth" thing. From the word go, I figured that something strange happened, but I didn't even see Building 7 for years (some still haven't).

For a long time I figured they let it happen to use it as a excuse to go to war.

It wasn't till about 2 years ago that I started to understand just how wrong the story was.

You're right, creationists start with a belief then form the facts around it....

that was never my intention. I don't want this to be true. For the first 6 months of my search, I was looking for the "evidence" to dismiss the truther movement. I never found that evidence, but I found lots, lots more on the other side.

A blanket statement like "Moreover, I don't know a single person who questions 9/11 who is a creationist (and I know a lot of people in the 9/11 truth movement," while it may be true, since you qualify the statement with "I don't know," why even bother to get into the issue. You may end up pulling a Ron Paul, who disavowed the 9-11 movement publicly in order to retain respectability for his campaign. (I respect and support Ron Paul, by the way.) You go on to say: "In other words, they followed the scientific method, which is the opposite of creationism. " This is an interesting statement, but this forum is not the place to address it in the detail it deserves. You do point to the crux of the issue when you say, "The "creationist" label is just another in a long line of false attacks on those who question 9/11. It is another example of government apologists' never-ending attempt to move the goalposts." I would just say that the intellectual dishonesty with which the establishment has approached the creationist debate is being extended into the 9-11 debate, so the opposition is already well-practiced. Remember that much of the establishment view is an attack on the value of the individual, in direct opposition to religious thought, and this forms much of the crux in the debate on creationism. This is why it is so easy for them to wipe out 2,700 people, and why they use any method possible to attack religious views, which may constitute their primary obstacle. Creationism, however one may view it otherwise, is a theory that imparts great value to the individual, where stems much of the opposition it has received, and not from its intellectual underpinnings, which is a different matter.

...we pay attention to these distractions and let "them" frame the debate instead of ignoring it and framing the debate in our favor, we end up on the defensive, and we lose. Ignore the distractions, stay focused, stay on message.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." -The Declaration of Independence

...since many of the probable 9/11 perps are contained within BushCo and required a contrived alliance with Christian Fundamentalist Mega-Church Extremists (i.e., "Creationists") to get enough votes to make a stolen election ('00) plausible.

Now the trolls and shills in service of those perps use the "creationist" label as a pejorative to smear The Truth Movement....

Pretty funny, actually. These people have no shame.

9/11 Truth ends the 9/11 Wars

9/11 truth uses logic and science for the results that it accepts. I think it'd be kind of hard to accept fire breathing dragons living on earth now and that the earth is only 10,000 years old. That stuff only washes with the uneducated or the educated that are trying to make a buck on the sheeple.
