The saddest thing about these efforts to promote non-scientific fantasies is that they completely ignore the great truth known to many many thoughtful, serious and intelligent theologians (a truth also known to many scientists), that religion and science, on the most basic level, are talking about two different things and are not in direct competition with each other.

That competition only exists in the small minds on each side. Richard Dawkins, for example, is the quintessential small-minded scientist, tilting at the windmills of what he sees as The Dangers Of Religion.

Creationists are the small minds of theology, imagining that they have to invent a "science" to "prove them right". Creationists know nothing about science, that goes without saying. But sadly, Creationists also know precious little about religion. They share the ignorant attitude of Dawkins, that religion must be somehow "scientifically correct" for it to be valid.

A pox on both their houses.

you sound pretty self righteous...many creationists do know alot about science. They are simply showing how amazing scientific discoveries show an author to them. That is not small minds. And many of the great scientists of the past and of the present are religious people too. Religion and science are intertwinned...there is no divorce between the two except in the minds of most darwinists.
