Also, like I said, I strongly dislike the bigotry and arrogance of certain people who state their theory on evolution, and the purpose for human, as if they know with certainty that what they say is true.There is a large difference between certainty about something that can be proven, and certainty about something with zero evidence.
I also don't like it when Christians or people of any Religion have this same attitude about their beliefs.
Creationism and Evolution are not two equal ideas on level ground, and we just happen to choose one. Not even close. One is intentional ignorance of facts, intentional lying, misinformation, and taking advantage of ignorance. One is selective acceptance of evidence and rejection of anything that doesn't fit a preconceived worldview. The other is one of the most robust scientific theories man has ever formulated; with incredible explanatory power, the ability to predict future phenomena, and not without mention, the basis for modern biology, genealogy, medicine, etc.
So the reason people get so heated is that this willful ignorance has consequences. Teaching children that "God did it" and that we have all the answers kills the drive to question and discover.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
