Creationists are frequently accused of being anti-science either because they...

...don't actually know any science.

A lot of time they spout the silliest things taken for fact. Just the other day you said that modern science has no clue why water expands when it freezes and why flags flap in the breeze. I hope to goodness you learned something. Another guy who totally rejects science any science that conflicts with his theological positions can't even explain the difference between wavelength and frequency. I can go on and on.

There's no shame in not knowing something. The shame is in refusing to learn.

There are vast numbers of Christians and Jews working in science and engineering disciplines that have no problem with evolutionary theory. This tells me that the problem people have is not with their science, it is with their theology.

The conflict on these threads is not science versus religion at all. It is actually a sectarian conflict between people with a certain highly literal interpretation of the Genesis chapter and more mainstream viewpoints. The mainstream of Christianity and Judaism says that the Lord exists beyond scientific scruitiny.

Thanks for providing the impromptu emphasis for my point about posters who "cannot simply, politely, answer a point or observation, but simply MUST insert their snide little goads..."

Would you be open to considering the notion that your tone was unduly imperious and snotty and that such a tone just MIGHT be tributary to the overall problem being so lamented in this thread?

some of us actually do know some science and have the degrees to prove it. I work in the science field and do have problems with the evolutionary theory.

You can't paint everyone with a broad brush. There are scientific facts to support both sides of the coin, and my religion is as valid as yours.
