Ask yourself, how much respect would you offer the idea that Earth is flat? Not much, though you may not outright mock the person promoting that idea. Most likely, you’d just ignore the guy and move on. But what if it wasn’t just one person? What if you had a huge swath of the country which thought there was legitimacy to this idea? Those people vote. Those people have a voice. They can tell their senator, no, we don’t want funding for NASA because it predicates its gravity boosts for its spacecraft on the idea that Earth and all the other planets are not flat. Do you think you might have a problem with flat-Earthers then? Do you think maybe you’d stop giving them the impression that what they thought was legitimate?
This is why scientists (and atheists) are so willing to laugh, mock, and dismiss creationists.

For the Sake of Science 
Nice.
And it’s also why creationists mock atheists.
Creationists mock atheists because they (creationists) hold beliefs on equal footing to flat Earthers?
Nope. :)
Okay, then don’t say that exact thing with the words you choose.
Creationists mock atheists because they claim that the Earth is fl… uh .. I mean, they claim fish turned into people.
Work for you? :)
And Atheist mock Creationist because they believe God spaketh everything into existence.
Atheist mock creationist because they believe a drunk exhibitionist and his family stuffed 2 of each animal into a 300ft boat to survive a global flood that left no evidence behind.
Atheist mock creationist because they believed the earth was the center of the universe.
Atheist mock creationist because they believe the earth is only 6,000 years old.
Atheist mock creationist because no such peer reviewed paper exist that backs up an intelligent designer.
Atheist mock creationist because they believe a burning bush communicated “gods laws” to a man who they also believe magically parted the sea.
Should I continue?
