I recommend that you better familiarize yourself with the specifics of the debate, and why the science community feels so urgently about repudiating creationism. It has nothing to do with anything specifically "anti-Christian", and is actually fuelled by a strong desire to promote a more rationally sensitive society.

This is exactly how I feel. The scientific method seems to be very poorly taught in all levels of school and, as a result, is very poorly understood. I frequently meet people who claim to follow science and the scientific method but do not have a hot clue how it really works.
