I mostly opened this topic because I expected this kind of reaction ("opposing evolution") very soon from someone so the probable cause for this kind of reaction is some sort of PTSD.
Perhaps being too much exposed to religious people's mindset on internet? So even as a "joke" people can't help themselves but to react as if they have been battered with creationism and other religious idiocies which do seem to exist as some sort of authoritarian measure to batter people into submission by driving them mad.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
