They make me angry. Example of why:

In a recent spread in Natl Geog, there was a sidebar about a Grand Canyon guide (creationist) who gives tours and explains how everything they see is no older than the Bible says. His tours include kids, and if even one kid walks away from the tour buying this guide's literal interpretation of how and when the Earth was formed - then in my eyes, he is a person to be despised.

The willful propogation of ignorance by ignorant people is not in any way acceptable to me as a matter of to-each-his-own or other similar arguements.

There was an earlier comment in the thread about brilliant people who are creationists. A contradiction in terms. That's just too big of a gap in critical thinking for the person to be given the attribute of being brilliant.
