Has it ever occurred to you that they angry not because of the objections voiced but by how those objections are voiced? Everything is grist for the mill of debate as far as I'm concerned, but when you start disparaging the people you disagree with as "statheads" you lose all credibility. If I started a conversation with you by calling you a midget, for example, would you really be interested in hearing anything else I had to say on any topic?

Think about it...
