>11/14/1979 is a string. Now() and createdate() and parsedatetime() etc. create datetime objects.
When you say that these create datetime objects, do they only create correct-formatted date/time strings or is there an actual object underneath? If there is an object can't you do something like: <cfset myDate = now()> <cfoutput>#myDate.hour()#</cfoutout> If you can't do that sort of stuff, then I would assume that CF just passes "strings" as date/time objects. (I haven't tested any of this because I'm running a bunch of SQL Server imports right now.)
