Why all the nastiness towards evolution dissenters?

The nastiness arises largely because of a strident atheism that sees evolution as giving intellectual credibility to that way of thinking.

Some ways in which evolution has led science up the garden path:

Fraud rediscovered

Are there several organs in the human body that have no useful purpose? How evolution hindered the discovery of the functions of many organs.

The slow, painful death of junk DNA (evolutionary ideas hindered the discovery of what 98% of our DNA does)

Some personal stories of hope

Many people have found their way out of the despair of our evolutionary age because they have come to know the truth—we are not alone; God created us with a purpose—for relationship with Himself for eternity. See:

By Design: Evidence for nature’s Intelligent Designer—the God of the Bible

by Dr Jonathan Sarfati

Dr Jonathan Sarfati presents case after case for amazing design in the living world, and demolishes theories of chemical evolution of the first life. Yet unlike many in the prominent Intelligent Design Movement, he is up-front about the truth of the Bible. This enables him to refute many anti-design arguments, and answer the key question: ‘Who is the Designer?’ (High School–Adult) 260 pages.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design

by Dr Jonathan Wells

Darwin is an emperor who has no clothes—but it takes a brave man to say so. Jonathan Wells, a microbiologist with two Ph.D.s (from Berkeley and Yale), is that brave man. Most textbooks on evolution are written by Darwinists with an ideological ax to grind. Brave dissidents—qualified scientists—who try to teach or write about intelligent design are silenced and sent to the academic gulag. But fear not: Jonathan Wells is a liberator. He unmasks the truth about Darwinism—why it is wrong and what the real evidence is.

The Slaughter of the Dissidents

by Dr Jerry Bergman

Christian persecution in academia is widespread, destroying countless careers and families today. In real life cases, Dr. Bergman documents the strategies anti-Christian use to suppress intellectual freedom in our universities. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Learn from those who have paid a high price for honesty and freedom. Protect your career, your family and your future. (High School–Adult) 480 pages.
