But this is the great scam the Creationists would have you believe. That the creationists are being shunned because they don't accept evolution. That isn't the problem. The problem is that they aren't offering any kind of reasonable scientific theory. What they are offering is Christianity. Creationists have a position that they want accepted as science, but they want it accepted on "faith". They can't do the science required. Period. It is no different than one claiming the earth is flat because it was created that way, and that's my theory and I'm sticking to it... regardless of evidence to the contrary. It's not the scientists who refuse to review, discuss and assess opposing ideas, it is the creationists. Case in point, I give you Eman.
The reason people can't accept evolution is universally religious. You will find the list of atheists and agnostics who do not accept evolution to be very short indeed.
