Having lurked on a lot of these crevo debates, I think the biggest conflict between the two sides is the fact that many creationists approach the topic as just a part of a bigger battle to bring religion instruction back into schools. The battle doesn't seem to be over evolution per se (or, not exclusively over religion) but rather just another skirmish against the secular nature of our society.

Agreed also. My original comment to you was simply that in some cases this is true on the other side as well.
