I suppose there are 'some' who do such.... but insofar as they act that way they are not 'good' scientists.

Unfortunately, some of them have been rather vocal on this thread.

They are a real minority, and are NOT a reason to relegate science itself to the position of "just another belief system".

Rather the point I was trying to make. I see little point in arguing with the creationists; they are not thinking rationally. The important thing is to get the science right so that those who are neither religious fundamentalists nor scientifically trained aren't misled into thinking it's just a choice of competing religions rather than competing ways of thinking.
