"I think you are misconstruing the constroversy. It is not between creationists and evolutionists but between microevolutionists and macroevolutionists."

Well it depends. Creationists can be a very diverse lot. Old earth, Young earth, micro vs macro and I even had somone argue for a geocentric worldview recently.

"My whole attitude is like Pascal's: let us wait on the evidence and not presume to know what we don't know."

Well that's just being agnostic. I can respect that.

Pascal was not agnostic. He was, after all, the guy who climbed mountains to check barometric levels rather than sit around to spin theories What I mean is that he saw the immensity of it all when he realized that between us and the stars there was an incalculable void. We know as much about the geological past as we do about the universe beyond us. A lot, but not a lot.
