The only people who would be actually offended are those that share the views being expressed, so if they want to try and defend those views go ahead.

I think the real problem some have towards the issue is the complete ease with which creationism can be taken apart using only the "evidence" they use to support their position.
That ease is what makes them so passionate about "attacks" on their views and so eager to go into outrage mode.
I agree, we have the expression here:"Getroffene Hunde bellen" - "Struck dogs bark", our way of saying "if the shoe fits..."

For some weird reasons, Germans love dog proverbs, my favorite being "This makes the dog in the frying pan become mad!" - in plain English it's just: "Gosh!"
