I wish I had time right now for this conversation - it's very interesting. I'll just add my tiny .02 for now. You said:
"Creationists, on the other hand, act as if the Bible was designed as a science textbook, which it most emphatically isn't. I don't recall God explaining atomic structure to Moses, for example."
I am a Hindu and a creationist. Religious people of all stripes are generally creationists (if they believe the teachings to which they supposedly adhere). There are undoubtedly Christian creationsists who have their own belief about how God created; the Vedas describe God's creative process in a different way.
I wish people would focus just a little not on what the exact creation teachings of various religions, but the flaws in TOE. The flaws highly interest me. Cicero's comment #27 addresses my POV precisely.
