That's a good question, but I'm afraid I have to answer it "Not this late!" That would take quite a while. I'll try to get something written up in the next few days.
I was actually six-day Creationist up through college (Christian college, officially six-day as well) when I realized that problems with the data that I thought would be addressed at the college level were in fact not. I went from six-day to a period of wild uncertainty (ID? simultaneous six-day and billions of years in some fashion? age-day?) and then settled on theistic evolution (God got the ball rolling) for a while. About six months ago I left Christianity (not over evolution, you can read the post at the end of my profile page for the basic reason why), but my move away from Creationism far pre-dated this and was for entirely different reasons. Ironically my move away from Christianity was prompted by my research into Islam and refuting it, which required a rational defense of some of the OT that I ultimately found I couldn't provide.
Keep in mind you are doing exactly what this author says -- your focus is purely on this topic from a socio-political standpoint.
That it is a scientific issue is secondary to your discussion and to the discussion that takes place here.
This is, as presented and discussed by both sides -- ostensibly religious and ostensibly scientific -- a socio-political debate, not scientific.
To me biology is of interest and I dislike those trying to use science for political agendas.
