Whether or not Creationists are a subset of "those who on the one hand condemn modern science...." is left as an exercise for the thoughtful reader.

I'm such a reader, and I have a quibble. "Condemn" usually means to strongly disaprove, or even to denounce. I don't think it's the right word. Too gentle. Probably something like "abhor, abominate, despise, detest, hate, revile, vilify, vituperate" would fit better.

Your thoughtful suggestions are duly noted for future consideration.

Some Creationists love science because it makes naturalism so foolish. Naturalists have to invent stories to explain the unexplainable. Dust from space just jells together and forms life. Hmmm. They can't explain it but they have faith that one day they will.
