I have no problem with them disagreeing but when they start turning shrill I smell fear.

You raise an interesting point.

Oh please.

I just think that the creationism argument is one of the stupidest things religious people fall into. I think it does great harm to faithful people who are forced, for no good reason, to choose between the mountains of proof for evolution, and their faith based on no proof for God.

Faithful people are shooting themselves in the foot over this subject, and when some of try and help you out and show you that there is no REAL conflict between Genesis and evolution, you get all upity and call that "fear".

Thanks loads.

Actually the fear comes from the creationist side. They
think their religion falls apart if they must admit that
their is very strong evidence for evolution.

You should look at the overall picture: everything fits nice
and consistently, universe is 15 billion years old, earth
around 5 billion years, plenty of time for evolution to
work its way from microbes to people. I really do not see
how you can still think evolution is wrong when one sees
how all plants and animals share the same DNA structure,
microbes evolve by mutations and big parts of the evolution
chain preserved in rocks.
