I don't know if I would agree that most Christians would disagree, but I understand that many of them do. I don't have a problem with them disagreeing with it, and offering alternative interpretations of the data and physical evidence, and theories based on those interpretations.
What I do disagree with is the attempt to exempt those theories from having to provide evidence and being submitted for peer review by the scientific community before they are accepted as valid.
You have a particular interpretation of the account of creation in Genesis, and you test theories and interpretations of evidence and data against that standard. You assume that account to be scientifically authoritative, and believe that should be acceptable to anyone else as a test of the validity of those theories - even in the absence of any physical evidence to support it, or the presence of evidence to the contrary.
Great.

What's the difference between this and your previous statement that you don't want scientists to have to go through theologians for approval of their theories? Why should creationists have to submit to the requirements of scientists before their theories are "valid"?

I don't assume it to be "scientifically" authoritative at least by the standards of science today. A large part of science is experimentation and the theory. Scientific principles and theories once held to be truth are reevaluated and discarded (or should be) when sufficient evidence against them are presented. This has happened many times in the past, it's happening every day, and it will happen in the future. Nobody has presented sufficient evidence that a creator God did NOT create man. But I believe the bible to be an authoritative source of information on this subject so I'm just waiting for science to catch up.
