Jon,
You may want to link to this or not. But I've waded into the controversy about Creationism. Having lived under a half-theocratic government, I don't think I want any piece of it again!

I am no Dawkins, though. I do respect people of faith, if their faith is used to set their moral and ethical standing, and actually allows them to improve themselves.
However, for your discipline, I think it's a very bad thing to be attached to. I'm sure you get lots of people making fun of it or misrepresenting your hypotheses. I really don't think you need the Creationist headache.
And they are a headache, and then some.
Scottie
