I've never met a Christian (not claiming to be a creationist) that claim the bible has anything to do with science. A lot of us also have a healthy appreciation for church and state, but the further south you go, the less they seem to care about the constitution. As far as the preaching hell fire and damnation and the reckoning, that's probably a reaction to being dissatified with the world or their life in it's current state and might be a "call to arms" to some. Some people are so fearfull, unsure or unhappy that they want the reckoning to come now, and they are truly sad (but scary) zealots who only serve their own fears and desires. The part of Jesus's message they're seeming to forget is to love thy neighbor and to obey the laws of God and man (not change them to suit your own selfish purposes).
I meant those who are involved in the creationist movement, not creationists overall. I don't think that normal peole would even want to do what the creationist movement wants to attempt, but the Creationist movement does have a lot of supporters from the public.
