Both sides of this issue are pretty dogmatic. To the atheist evolution is the catalyst for there worldview. It is fundemtaly important to them as it gives a means for the existence of life without the divine. Pretty important stuff.

To the creationist it is a slap in the face of God. It is anathema. It is sacrilege. It is mankind being arrogant in assigning mere naturally prosesses to something that proclaims the glory and power of God.

Both sides have a lot of skin in the game and won't likely yield any ground to the other side.

I just thought I would put this forth for both sides to think about when making comments and ask each side to be respectful of the other in what they say.

I am in the God camp. When you tell me my belief In God is like believing in Santa Claus that is very offensive. I am not sayin you don't have the right to be offensive and feel free to continue to do so if that is your choice. I will however have to consider that you are a person of poor character.
