As with most generalisations, this is an overstatement. If you had used words like "generally" or "often" I'd have not disagreeement with the statement. Taken literally, it is blatantly incorrect, as I'm sure you'd agree after a little reflection. What you are saying is that there is
never a disagreement about the underlying ideas. So I agree in principle with creationists do I? I just don't like the words they use! Hmm. I think not.
