"........The relentless attempt to confuse the two by teaching warmed-over creationism as science can only bring ridicule to religion, gratuitously discrediting a great human endeavor and our deepest source of wisdom precisely about those questions - arguably, the most important questions in life - that lie beyond the material......."
As I've said in the past on these Threads, the purpose of Creationism/ID is to destroy the Conservative Movement and this website. Those that practice or spread these lies are either Evil Trolls because they knowingly lead people astray, or are unwitting ignoramuses.

I can understand the hostility of your rhetoric because if Genesis is a literal account for creation your world view and possibly your philosophy on afterlife will be in jeopardy.

The vast majority are the latter. They are not well-grounded in science and find the whole thing rather confusing. ID/Creationism offers them a simplified version of the universe that does not tax their thinking or their time in trying to understand it.
You did fail to note the strong streak of anti-intellectualism found among most ID/Creationist types. No one likes to think anyone is smarter or better than him so he denigrates "them there pointy-headed liberal elitists what thinks they're so much smarter 'n us."
Thanks! That needs repeating often!
