The best evidence for the "Darwin killed god" idea are the millions of religious evolution deniers.

What I like about evolutionary biology:

It's the strongest basic fact of science.

It's the most interesting branch of science.

No other scientific fact has so much powerful evidence.

Biologists frequently make predications which must be correct if evolution is true, and those predictions have been spectacularly correct 100% of the time for more than a century.

More than any other branch of science, evolution has religious implications strong enough to cause the eventual eradication of every religious fantasy and every god fairy ever invented.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christians and Muslims usually solve their problem with the religious implications of evolution by denying the whole thing. And they go out of their way to make sure they never learn anything about what they're denying.

There are Christians and even Muslims who insist their magical god is compatible with evolution but virtually always they stick their Jeebus or Allah into it. That's not accepting science. That's polluting science with magic.

Or they deny only human evolution because their religious fantasies require their own species to be special magical creations of Jeebus or Allah. That's still not accepting science. Anyone who thinks magic is one of the mechanisms of evolution or who denies evolution for people is as anti-science as a person can get.

What's wonderful about evolution besides the fact the history of life is extraordinarily interesting, is just by teaching evolution a person can be saved from a lifetime of believing in superstitious bullshit. This is why America needs federal or state legislation to require a strong education in evolutionary biology starting at the youngest possible age, First Grade, age six. To deny this education is child abuse and there's no excuse for it.
