The Creationists/ID-iots are an embarrassment - and a clear, present danger - to the Conservative Cause. The primary difference between knowledge and ignorance is that knowledge has limits.
The biggest problem with limited knowledge is a presumption that what we don't know therefore doesn't exist. This can lead to the fallacy that Socrates pointed out: thinking to know something when you don't, which is called hubris.
"The Creationists/ID-iots are an embarrassment - and a clear, present danger - to the Conservative Cause."
Did you give it any thought if your "clear and present danger" people just up and left the conservative cause?
Name calling doesn't help.
