This contrasts to the creationists, who cherry pick from both the bible and quackery, in the fear that any real evidence would mean that the bible isn't LITERALLY true.
As someone who is open to the existence of a deity, I cannot accept, nor respect the ideas of the creationists, due to their lack of understanding of the scientific method, and use of obfuscation at best, and outright lies at the worst, simply because if science is right, their whole metaphysical worldview will collapse.
Science is always accepting and examining new evidence. Can't really say that about the creationists, can we?
Scientists are constantly looking for a single story that fits all of the evidence. Creationists are looking for all of the evidence that supports a single story.
