You do yourself a great diservice by exagerating in such a way, you know full well that creationists will pick up on one small thing and use it to discredit far greater and more important truths,
We can debate the relative positions of atheists and theists of all types in our societies, but in truth, it is irrelevant.
The thing is to keep facts as facts, opinions as opinions and beliefs as beliefs.
Theories, in the scientific sense, are a bit trickier because some are little more than one or two person's ideas and others are backed by so many facts that there is only the slimmest of possibilities the theory is wrong.
Evolution is one of those that will be extremely hard to disprove with honesty. It is sad that Christians have taken the route of deception instead of truth in this battle. It is even sadder that so many thinking people are utterly failing to find the reality that will so clearly show scientific creationism is anything but science ... and anything but Christian.
