I'm glad you made the distinction between creationists and the faithful. While there is an overlap, the creationists are really a small part of the other. The only ones I'm attacking are the small percentage of the creationists that are directly and intensionally trying to discredit science. That's what, 1% of 10% of the faithful that have been educated in science? Actually I'm not attacking, but counterattacking the idiots that have attacked science.

Does atheism and science really need to get involved?

Atheism doesn't enter into it at all, where in hell do you get that from? Does science need to defend itself from creationists that are trying to discredit it? Hell yes, tooth and nail.

The golden rule Bruce, do unto others as you want others to do unto you. I want the faithful to respect me and see me as a valid human being, just different from them. I will give them the same respect I expect from them. "Oh but they don't give you respect!" Yeah, the intolerant ones don't. I see past them, to the decent hearted faithful who respect me for my beliefs just as I do to them.

Respect you? Of course I do, after last night I'll respect you for ever.
Seriously though, don't confuse who is the aggressor. Scientists have not attacked the faithful. It's that small percentage of creationists, the rabid ones, the ones trying to discredit science, the ones trying to further their agenda through the public schools, that are the aggressors.
