The first time I ever discussed creation issues with a group of Christians
was in Oregon. The attitude I encountered there was almost equivalent,
being called a Satan-worshipper for even engaging in science and considering
the value of evolutionary theory (surprising from me, right?) There was a
strong feeling of what I can best describe as being prejudiced against me.
Is this something particular about the West Coast? I haven't found the same
level of hostility here in Texas on an average level, but I don't interact
with every Christian around either. I get the feeling that scientists in
the West are much more hostile toward Creationism in general, but I just
wondered about thoughts on this phenomena.
