Your point strikes me as the pot calling the kettle black. Your side has written to Congress expressing support for suppressing dissent. Your side has been intimately involved in Kansas political battles. Darwinism has a political component. Your kidding yourself if you think this is not the case.
Human beings use many excuses in acting on their evil impulses.
As far as creationists quoting scientists out of context, you are correct, they often do. I am familar with scientists, of an astronomical bent and I have read a lot in other fields, as well as meeting a few. Your point makes them out to be some type of holy nonideological priesthood instead of the very human, and sometimes cutthroat people they actually are. Everyone has agendas Craig. To pretend that scientists are somehow superhuman in this regard is simply untrue.
