Then it is no less valid to say that as long as on person in the Creationist field is anti-science you cannot logically say that "Creationism is not anti-science."

Absolutely! It is just simple logic.

but I don't consider conclusions drawn from the personal opinions of a single source to be of any particular value.

Good for you - not sure what that has to do with this thread.

It would be just as valid for me to make sweeping generalizations about Christianity based on the words and actions of Jim Jones.

What are you claiming are "sweeping generalization(s)"?

This is simple logic - you can't argue with simple logic. If one in a group has a trait, it is invalid and illogical to claim nobody in the group has the trait.

Examples of illogical invalid statements:

Christians are not murderers
Catholics are not lawbreakers
Evolution is not anti-religion

starting to see the light?

"Biology took away our status as paragons created in the image of God."

and from that the conclusion that:

"The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity."

Christians are not murderers
Catholics are not lawbreakers
Evolution is not anti-religion

starting to see the light?

Indeed. What I don't understand is your willingness to accept the inverse in the case of evolution, when it is no less illogical to do so.

A single instance of someone using the TToE as a "weapon against religion" does not justify characterizing it as being "first and foremost" for that purpose.
