Those who believe that the universe is only 6 thousand years old and who try to make other people agree with them, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, annoy me. We don't need more false beliefs in this world and the associated narrow mindedness that goes with such a religiously inspired world view.

This is a good starting point for creationists to learn how scientists describe evolution. I would encourage them to compare this with what creationists say about evolution and then ask themselves if either version makes more sense than the other.
