Thats probably true, Ron. I was painting with a broad brush.
However, they
are the most vocal and the most quick to condemn those who disagree. Thanks
for your comment.

To be fair, I think you are caricaturing the conservative approarch when
you use phases like "simple literalist interpretation" and "Conservative
interpreters therefore see science as the enemy". It is true that there
is a very vocal segment of conservatives who might be classifed as such
(Creation Science advocates and the YEC crowd), but there are also
conservatives who have a very nuanced view of verbal inspiration that
recognizes that a wooden, literal approach is too simplistic, and
therefore introduce many different literary genre in their
interpretative activities (and yet try to integrate that approach with
verbal inspiration).
Oh well, just wanted to throw that it and see if it sticks.
