So there you have it. I was trying to figure out why there is so much animosity toward people who criticize the theory of evolution.

I guess it is because when we post the facts we get responses like:

Pure fabrication. But hey, if you gotta make stuff up to support your view...

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

That a bacteria corrodes metal does not prove that it survives eating only inorganic matter.

And your animosity is not based upon my not readily accepting what you posit as fact, it is because Creationists, beholden to a far higher authority than your chemlab, infuriate those who would discredit His creation.
