There seem to be fewer and fewer of us at FR who see that. It is indeed a diabolical way to make people see Scripture as irrelevant and incorrect and quaint.

Ironically, and however opposite your intent, many will read that and suppose you meant that the characterization of evolution as "anti-God" is the "diabolical way to make people see Scripture as irrelevant and incorrect and quaint".
What both of you probably miss is that this way of looking at it is all too plausible. After all you (two) are basically inviting people to reject the Bible and Christianity in total if they happen to find antievolutionary creationism implausible. Heck, you're damn near demanding that they do so.
In fact your premises are shared almost exactly and completely with the most militant and extreme sort of "scientific" atheist. Sure your conclusions differ, but your logic is nearly identical. You ignore (or are oblivious) to the fact that this logic will carry many, and probably far more, in the opposite direction from what you intend.
Of course those that DO manage to reconcile science and scripture, and hang onto their faith after finding out that "creation science" is a crock, will still find you present and now ready to castigate them as enemies of Christ. After all adopting a irenic and humble approach to those with a different understanding of the theological doctrine of creation, and it's relation to secular science, wouldn't allow you the fun of denouncing fellow Christians as dupes of Satan.
So have fun denouncing and renouncing your brothers in Christ. You usually won't get a message like this one. Most of the time we "mockers" will be watching your antics without comment, some smiling and hopefully the better of us shaking our heads sadly.
“Evolution is anti-God. Nothing real about it.

Amen to people wising up to the fact that Scripture is irrelevant and incorrect and quaint !
