There's probably more than one reason.

Yeah, but I think a few of them are on the evolutionists side, when they tread (often wittingly) into areas that are beyond agnosticism.

In the causal/acausal dialectic, slipping in casual "scientific" references to "random" or "natural" causes for the universe or the laws and properties of it ought to set of alarms for all concerned. There's no true scientific basis (or need) for it, and it only exacerbates the mostly unnecessary conflict between science and theology.

Methinks a more properly agnostic scientific community, once shed of its veiled atheism, would be in a better position to criticize special creationists... Or (gasp!) agree to more peaceably disagree. But there's a lot of hubris and pride in that camp.

They have a lot to put up with in their opposition.
