What does it matter that people believe this? Why does it offend you? Who cares if it does? By what special office do you heap derision on what others believe?

CS/ID folks are seeking to have their belief mandated by law (e.g., Kansas). That's why it matters to scientists! We were perfectly happy to work with our books and theories and keep to ourselves in the realm of science, but the CS/ID folks started launching these unfounded attacks. Now they are offended that we fight back? Gimmi a break!

Dinny's new owners, pointing to the Book of Genesis, contend that most dinosaurs arrived on Earth the same day as Adam and Eve, some 6,000 years ago

I have worked with a number of archaeological sites older than 6,000 years. Haven't seen a dinosaur bone yet! Neither have any of my colleagues. For something so big they sure can hide well!

Yup! :-)

So what? If a private museum/roadside attraction wants to say dinosaurs were put here yesterday by Vulcans what is that to you? Do you pay the mortgage? Or are you afraid of someone questioning your fundamentalist core beliefs?
Give you a break? Sure, I won't point out the limitations of your reasoning, just the lack of manners I previously listed when evos post. I am not against evolution nor for creationism. I just don't like bullies.
You would have only evolution mandated by law. As for Kansas mandating the possibility of intelligent design, are facts such fragile things they can't stand up to scrutiny? Are people so unable to think that when presented two diametrically opposed sets of information they cannot find which is the more credible? The shrill defense of evolution smacks of medieval witch burning more than the reason presentation of information.
