A Creationist vs. Evolutionist - Who Would Win (In a Fight)?

I think I would initially be tempted to say an evolutionist/atheist since they have no morals or apprehension and would be less limited as to what kind of tactics they used. Creationists, however, while not very smart as a whole, can be very crafty and many excel at the art of deception. I think this could really turn the tide for them in a fight because they could throw something at the evolutionist that the evolutionist simply would not expect. Plus, creationists are Christian and Christians seem to have a killer instinct in their blood as history would indicate. I guess I'd have to go with the creationist. What do you guys think?

I was tempted to agree that the creationist would win, maybe by forming a cult and attacking the evilutionist with waves of suicide bombers but when you consider the average atheists such as Stalin Hitler & Dawkins, you will see their grasp of science and modern weaponry would win the day, they would probably nuke the creationists on a Sunday morning.

I'd like to clarify that it would be a fist fight with no major weapons involved. However, nothing stops one from brandishing a knife or using some object in their environment if the chips don't happen to stack in his favor. I certainly wouldn't put such a move past a creationist. If they happened to kill the atheist in the fight it would be ok because it's in God's name. The atheist doesn't have such a justification so he is at a severe disadvantage here.

Off topic, and late, but Hitler considered himself a christian...

Well, I like the Sunday morning nuclear obliteration idea. But there was no mention of weapons in the initial question. So I'm going with the premise that there will no weapons. In which case, I'm inclined to go along with the "bloodthirsty nature" theory and pick the Creationist.

Also, regardless of who won, the Creationist would spin it by claiming it was God's will.

If he lost, it was a lesson in humility to lose to such a wretched creature.

If he won, it was a triumph of the righteous over the wicked.

So either way, the Creationist would at least get in the last word.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Yes, I think the creationist would win. He will bring his opponent to die of laughter.

The Evolutionist would adapt to the new environment created by the fight, and therefore win the fight.

The Creationist would claim afterwards that he won, but without being able to show real evidence of his victory whatsoever.
