Isn't it possible to have a debate about evolution using the current scientific literature pointing out the difficulties with evolution, without making it about "creationism and fundamentalists"?...Nonetheless, there is a significant body of literature discussing problems with certain aspects evolution, or am I wrong?

There are, indeed, questions about certain aspects of evolution but there is no debate that the earth is more than a few thousand years old. The political issues derives from fundamentalists objecting to the long timeline of evolution and pushing creationism as the scientific alternative, therefore, the political issue is about "creationism and fundamentalists." Were this not a political issue for fundamentalists we would be left with a healthy scientific discussion among scientists of the nooks and crannies of evolution in the labs and academia and political discussions here about other issues.
