Here's the answer I should have given in the first place:

Creationist - We have no idea what was in the beginning, so we make up
this cozy feeling fairy tale with a bearded guy in it, then we go and
kill or oppress people by the gazillions supposedly in the name of that
guy, but really for our personal gain, be it economic, political or
otherwise.

Scientist - We have no idea what was in the beginning, we'll keep trying
to make sense of it, but still have no idea, and that's a good thing,
too, because "We don't know" is an answer we can not only live with, but
one we wholeheartedly embrace. No one needs to get hurt in this process.

Hmmmm


Yes, Hmmm. Who created most of the nastiest weapons known to man...
Hint, it wasn't creationists.


Nastiest weapon known to man? Hate.
Twasn't created by the scientists.

Hmmm. Who used them on people? Hint... it wasn't the scientists. Some of
those on the Manhattan project suggested demonstrating the power of the
weapons in a non-lethal way, and others suggested that the science behind
them should be openly distributed in order to reduce the temptation to use
them. We know how that turned out.

Just because someting *can* be done does not mean that it must be.
