Have you been to http://www.exchristian.net or places like that? Now that is full-on discussion, and hanging out in message forums like that is what I guess I am talking about! Quite honestly, I have sat back and watched this debate get quite heated!
By the way, is it that Christians are abusing science just because they believe that the world around us didn't come into being by accident? Or is it just that everyone in the world has the same evidence that we're looking at, but we are interpreting it differently based on the persuasion we take - and don't think that just because a scientist is of an evolutionistic persuasion that he is unbiased! 
There have been many major and well-respected scientists who believed that the world was created by an intelligent being - it's not just something for those who are uneducated. Maybe you have talked to a lot of uneducated or uninformed Christians, but there are quite a lot of very intelligent, well-educated people out there who also believe that there is a God Who created the world - just as there are a lot of uneducated or uninformed non-Christians who believe in evolution! That doesn't mean that either belief is less intellectual than the other, it just means that there's one or two in every bunch! 
I very much agree with your explanations of these basic communication problems Jcgirl
IMO, emotional control/restraint in these head-on confrontations of values is also very counterproductive
