That's called "Science." Unliek "religion," where the patently incorrect and silly are kept due to dogma. Just another area where evolution trumps Creationism... evolution changes to fit new data. Creationism has to misrepresent data.

Only the narrow view of Creationism you chose to highlight so as to scorn. Plenty of people believe in the Creation, without believing in literal 24 hour days. Many believe that most of evolution theory can fit within the Creation account (though perhaps some missing links are missing for a reason.) So who is misrepresenting whom?

But of course its much easier to portray anyone who disagrees with you as a dogmatic ignorant redneck, than to try and see if there is any overlap or common ground that might lead to a reshaping of theories taken as (secular) gospel...
