Chris Clarke over at Creek Running North has a very long and well written article that boils down to the real reason that fundamentalists don’t like evolution:
Evolution replaces God with sex, in other words, and that’s too much for them to bear.
And the compromise path offered by scientists of Christian faiths, that God created Deep Time and set evolution in motion? That’s saying God created the world with sex, and nothing bothers the fundies more than saying God used sex to create something.
