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.

It's more like taking science as a menu of options. They just choose which parts to accept and which parts not. The primary differences between creationists and postmoderndeconstructionists or newagers lies in the artistry of choice. Like they do with Bible verses or Koran suras.
