Many are taught that evolution is a threat to their entire religion as though "evolutionism" is some rival religion meant to replace Christianity. In there is lumped any threat to the particular dogma they've been convinced is the hill to die on. The big bang is evolution, star and planet formation is evolution etc.Also when you convince people one very specific interpretation of the bible is utterly inerrant it only takes one little crack for the whole thing to look to be tumbling down. If the theory of evolution is true then parts of the bible you were told had to be absolutely literally true can't be. And many are convinced that if some parts aren't absolutely literally true then the whole thing must be false. It's not just that Adam and Eve did not literally exist. The origin of life, the basis for their moral code, the origin of the planet, the history of the universe, the meaning of life etc.I hadn't thought of that, and yes, someone like [USER=353]@Tiger[/USER] is a literalist (believes that Muhammad flew to heaven on a winged horse and so on) and thinks of atheism as a religion. Some religious people are profoundly anti-science, they have to be</blockquote>
