The creationists and other anti-science types have to keep hope alive somehow, even if it's all based on a pack of lies.

Um, I would like to say that Creationism is not at all unscientific. Many advances in science can be credited to Christians, simply because they believed that the common rules/laws of nature would reflect God's designs... in other words, they expected science to be fully provable and practical. For example, early genetics (as a formal study, applied genetics, ie husbandry, was around a long time before that) was done by a monk by the name of Gregor Mendel on peas (and bees, IIRC). Also, many of our own prestigious schools started out as seminaries.

I don't know what bilge you've been fed, but Religion and Science are not, by nature, mutually exclusive schools of thought.
