That’s because to you evolution is the end all be all of science. It’s really just a small part of the scientific body of knowledge. And your either or assumption has no basis in scientific thought.

It's not just evolution/creationism, it's all the implications of "Young Earth Creationism". A 6000 (more or less) year old earth requires throwing out most of the science of geology, astronomy, physics, etc, etc.

And in the case of some, throwing out the notion that the Earth orbits the Sun.

I mean as long as you are going to discount physical evidence in favor of Biblical interpretation; one may as well be a Geocentrist - it is the most logically consistent position once you refuse to consider physical evidence.

Agree. Have had that discussion with one of my students just this past semester; he being a diehard YEC.
