That is exactly how it should be, and 99% of the time it is, but that 1%, the literalist seem to fixate on and then attack all of science for it, especially evolution.

It is not that evolution is not true, it is the fact that it can't be true or their entire worldview comes apart at the seams. So they grab whatever they think will hold them up.

The real problem is that they think creation science and ID are a rope that will save them, when in fact it's the thickness of a human hair and will soon snap under the weight.

I feel bad for them, when all they can reach for is some sort of pseudo science, and bash real science like they have all the answers, then you know that they are in big trouble.

Yes, They're in big trouble.

I've seen creationists on this site call evolution a "religion", which is just plain silly. I think their goal is to label evolution as a religion so they can either get it out of the schools or demand equal time in school for creationism (which clearly is religious).

For fundamentalists, creationism is part of a bigger agenda: getting their particular brand of radical protestantism taught in public schools. Attacking evolution is just one step in that direction.
