After we determine our beliefs, we tend to doubt or dismiss evidence to the contrary, as is our nature. Evolutionists and Creationists share this in common.

I can't disagree.

So where do you come down on my point that the Creationism/Evolution fight is itself a danger to the faith of some people? Do you agree that some people could decide there is no God because they were forced to chose between Science vs. faith?

I think the majority of people believe in Intelligent Design, or some hybrid thereof (i.e. God used evolution).

Most hard line Creationists (me) or Evolutionists are pretty solidified in their system of beliefs. To answer to question directly, no I do not see a danger in the debate. From a perspective of faith, I say pursue the truth, whatever it may or may not be.

For anyone who has had to address the "Synoptic Problems", the truth sometimes requires more in-depth research than anyone wants to put in during one lifetime. Hence the reason I think most people adhere to some form of the Intelligent Design version of creation.
