I miss the days when young earth fundamentalist Christianity tinged with racism was my most compelling ideological opponent.

Personally I see it as bad theology as much or more so than bad science.

I mean, how do you reconcile the idea that "God is great" (Muslim slogan but how you can not believe that as a theist?) with the idea that the world is just 6000 years old and he sits on the throne and is obsessed with Jewish people as opposed to the scientific picture that the world is at least 13 billion years old, 'his image' is inscribed into the molecular structure of our cells, which implies God is a lot bigger than that.
