Those who believe in direct divine intervention in the creation of man and those who believe that humans were born just like other mammals through naturalistic events.

Unless one is privy to the thoughts of God, Those are not incompatible. Some creationists paint God as a stupid brute, almost indistinguishable from a cartoon thunderer.

"Unless one is privy to the thoughts of God, Those are not incompatible" (divine intervention & evolution I am assuming)

I would agree with that statement. I have no problem with the possibility of both of these ideas being true. But usually the Creationists (with a capital C) and hard core Evolutionists battle over this very point. Did humanity evolve from earlier mammals (which in turn evolved reptiles and so forth) or did God create Humanity separately as an act of divine intervention? Most people who believe both rarely get into heated arguments about it. Science cannot and will not ever determine whether a god beyond/wihtin our existence is real or imaginary.
I am not trying to castigate anyone for their beliefs, I am simply attempting to point out where the major divide seems to be.
