Yeah, they annoy me (contain your surprise :P). My problem with them is that they suffer from the most stubborn case of "head in sand" syndrome you can imagine. Utterly refusing to believe anything that might challenge their "God given" world view. Most, I've found, are extremely hostile to disagreeing beliefs, regardless of the amount of evidence in favor of the dissenter.

I must admit I get rather annoyed with stubborness (and I am as stubborn as they come
 ) but I don't get mad at woo-woos or the like, that is because if I get mad I can't make fun of them....(ah yes, I forgot to mention I am also a tad immature  )

...this is an interesting thread, but after reading it, it seemed to me that people were comparing apples and oranges. Religion fulfills a need in human beings. From the earliest men right up to today. Religion addresses itself to the spiritual side of man, by means of faith, a knowing of the heart. Human beings take their needs very seriously. Science is based on the scientific approach resulting in data and repeatability and formulas proving analytically the validity of the proof. This is done by means of reason, logic and probability which brings about a knowing in the mind, an entirely different kind of knowing, compared to faith. A knower of the mind and a knower of the heart addressing the same question, will seldom, if ever, agree. The conflict is a result of one side believing the other side is trying to tamper with their need(ie creationism, evolution, IDism). I would like to see w.i.a.h.b.a.a.w.b.ism taught as well( what is, always has been, and always will be)...

I just have to add that i vote wrong in this poll. Not that i hit the wrong button but simply voted before thinking it through. I voted 'no' since i accept ppl belief, but as i thought it through. Religion is one think, creativonism is another thing without any reality sence (if you ask me). I understand why the majority believe in a god, but to deny things like the earth was about more than 6k years ago is something different. We have the greatest evidences of that. Have to say, they really annoy me those creativonists

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.

I'm surprised at the amount of people that have voted 'yes' in this poll.
Its hard to see how science, especially Astrophysics, and reigion mix. They are essentially opposites. I can't understand how someone can be a good scientist or at least logical thinker and still be religious. Creationism is only going to slow down progession of science and the human race, so I don't agree with it at all. I can't believe they want it taught in schools even as a 'theory'. It's not science.

) get under my skin in a big way. The biggest issue I have is that they just use the same rehashed false religo-political talking points when trying to argue.
