Just to be clear, I don't buy into what alot of extreme creationalists believe, or even much of the Bible, in a literal sense.

That's the thing, this debate wasn't about the existence of God, and I think it's only those extreme people that try to equate acceptance of evolution with atheism. They do it because accepting evolution, I think they feel, threatens their particular interpretation of scripture. And without their inerrant interpretation they feel they have nothing, so they fight.
Like Nye talked about, lots (probably most) Christians accept evolution without feeling their belief in God is threatened.
