Everyone knows that anyone who doesn't believe a 6-day creation in Genesis and a 6000 year-old universe isn't a Christian and, in fact, is an atheist.

There's something about this country that makes every guy with a Bible think that he is an expert on Scripture.

Witness how American churches have historically splintered along minor points of theology.

More established, sober churches, don't seem to have much of a problem with many scientific theories, such as evolution. It seems like it's only the Churches of "Me and you, and I'm not so sure about you" that are up in arms against science.

It seems to be more than that. Not just scripture, but theology in general. And also biology and physics (thermodynamics in particular).

I personally cannot fathom what possibly causes some religious people to turn to the outright and blatant dishonesty as well as the extreme arrogance (I haven't studied any higher level science, but I know enough to overthrow 150 years of research in biology!) that I see from too many creationists in these discussions.
