Well many don't care or have no problem with that as evidenced by many postings in this thread.
BTW it illustrates, to all, the great philosophical divide in the US today. No consensus is possible between the two views.
To be fair, there is a third group of "one is not mutually exclusive of the other" which is more of the sense I get rather than only 2 opposing views that's all or nothing. That's fine if you feel it is all or nothing too. Personally, I tend to explore things from all sides before conclusion.
