Obviously this is a chance for militant atheists - invariably progressive in all ways but tolerance of people outside their belief - system to go on about how dumb religious people are.
It's not that simple. Obviously the Big Bang - and that cosmic inflation evidence - could be right out of the Book of Genesis. It didn't take days, it took microseconds. Framed that way, God is even more crazy powerful than postulated. I want to be that guy the next time I play D&D.
Scientists, I have the answer for why so many religious people are resistant to what, to most of us, seems perfectly valid, an should be even more valid to believers in creation. They don't trust distrust science, they just distrust you.
They don't like you any more than you like them. By letting big-mouthed atheists speak for all of science, you're asking to be invalidated by people who see nefarious motivations.
Spare me the platitudes about how society needs to separate your personal rants from your work. I rather doubt you sit around listening to Ted Nugent music after he goes on some bender about killing Bambi's father.
