I'm sure I am right when I say this, (for my part anyway) the only people who talk about evolution are creationists, people who accept evolution rarely even mention it.
You may be certain, but you are, in this case. obviously wrong. Don't feel bad. Certainty, like anger or lust, has nothing to do with evidence. It is a neurological response to mental exhaustion, or fear. When thought becomes difficult or causes emotional discomfort, people become certain, shutting off thought.
Biologists discuss evolution all the time. Evolution is a fascinating subject, and
The Origin of Species was a more revolutionary work than Newton's
Principia. Moreover, what creationists "talk about" is not evolution, it is a straw-man that has nothing to do with evolution except the use of the term, and is based on either a misunderstanding or a deliberate misrepresentation of evolution.
Religion is a refusal to confront reality. And just as the Hebrews mutilate their genitals to bind them socially, and others shave their faces to indicate social submission, religious folks mutilate their intellects to show their submission to the group. As some wag wonce remarked, "It isn't really religion if it isn't absurd." Christians, for instance, assert with a straight face that their god impregnated his own mother with himself as the offspring. I remember a humorous song form my youth called
I'm My Own Grampaw, but Christians do that one generation better with a straight face. To anyone who is not a Christian this dogma is simply ridiculous, but to Christians this is a fundamental article of faith, one of several such beliefs that are nonsensical to "the worldly mind."
