Since this is an area that I am particularly interested in, and have studied quite a bit, please enlighten me on the evidence for your criticism.

BTW - science doesn't welcome all criticism, just tht which meets their criteria for "science."

There are some churches scientists won't go to, or if they do they get battered with pressure to change their views, like Gallileo. Many scientists react to the ignorance of these churches by rejecting Christ altogether. They think all Christians are ignorant hicks. The push to get ID nonsense into schools has led to the secular backlash of taking out all references to God. The creationists have aided the cause of secularism, by taking such superficial and silly positions, it makes it easy to discredit Christianity in general.

The churches that do this are the ones that believe in creationism/ID. They turn it into a salvational issue and they reject the teachings of Jesus and the Gospel in doing so. I would be glad to discuss the particulars of this by private mail, as I too have studied the problem of negative evangelism.

Science defines scientific terms, not superstitious misinterpreters of the Bible.
