You are seriously mistaken if you actually think that all opposition to evolution orthodoxy comes from book-burning Bible thumpers. Of course, it is very convenient for you to believe that so that you can push all opposing thought into a neat little nutshell, label it and discredit it as neanderthal, unscientific nonsense.

Nothing is neater or more unscientific to believe the bible passage that says the earth was literally created by god in 6 days. Hey! Then that is all you have to know! You can then close your mind to anything else that says otherwise. How easy. Oh and yes, you bible thumpers do account for almost all the opposition against evolution (science). Most of the "established" Christian faiths have an open mind about evolution.
