Because, to believe the crap that religious morons try to shove down your throat, a person would have to be as dumb as a stump!!
Religion is the very WORST of man's inventions! Followers should be drawn and quartered....and I'd love to be the one who spooked the horses!

Religious people don't necessarily hate the idea of evolution. I personally believe in evolution, and am Roman Catholic. I bet that the reason some religious people dislike the idea of evolution is because they interpret the Old Testament as saying that Adam and Eve were created in an instant, instead of over 11 million years.

Well to begin simply. Religious fanatics or Christians as I like to call them; believe this story about how this Omnipotent being created the world in 6 days only to rest on the 7th aka the sabbath. Now... evolution is the complete opposite, it took a lot longer than 6 days with 1 vacation day to get us to the point of human consciousness. Evolution is the opposing view, even when presented with proof of existence and the fact we share dna with chimps, there is no backing down for them. As for the Dinosaurs, last time I read the bible they weren't in there. So... who knows maybe Dinosaurs... those big fossil things are just a big conspiracy to hold the Christians down... even though the Fanatics are running the country right now.

i think of of David Attenborough is a spectacular reporter/documenter, yet we ought to furnish credit the situation credit is due - he's basically re-packaging theories of Darwin, and so on. I proceed to think of of that the assumption of evolution does not the two ensure or deny the existence of God. It does, besides the undeniable fact that, deny particular thoughts that distinctive religions opt to tell and re-tell. so a competent distance as i understand, there's no reason God ought to now no longer have created the gadget of evolution. besides the undeniable fact that, the assumption the planet is 6000 years previous and that we decended from 2 human beings how had problems with a snake and an apple seems much less in all possibility. I proceed to be a "militant agnostic": i do now no longer understand and neither do you!

I don't know if you would call it hate, but they know the truth, so they have to stand up for what you and all other non-believers, will find out someday, That God created us and every species full and complete at the beginning.
So, you who believe in the big lie called evolution... IF evolution is the way it happened, where are all the multitudes of "middle links" that would be necessary to support this system??? There should be swarms of everthing if that is the way it happened...

True religious people are not at all bothered by such things.
Most of the self proclaimed "religious" crowd found at yahoo would seem to have narrow boundaries threatened by reflection thought or logic.
These are the same people that killed and jailed those who suggested the earth was not the center of the universe. Another unpopular scientific belief of an earlier time.

Because religions are about believing things to the exclusion of other things-who belongs who doesn't. They find the idea of human evolution threatening because they consider creation by God in creation by human evolution as mutually exclusive concepts rather than God using evolution or some other process to create mankind/womankind. They'd rather it be Magic.

I have a fundamentalist brother-in-law who says that he does not want his children to learn evolution because he thinks that if kids are taught that they are descended from animals, it is like giving them license to act like animals.
My sister (his fundamentalist wife) told a room full of people - with righteous indignation - that she is angry at the schools for not supporting what she is teaching her children. When asked for specifics, she told them that her kids asked her what happened to the dinosaurs and she told them that Noah simply didn't have room for them on the arc. Even her kids could see how ridiculous this answer was (and the oldest was 7) - there is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible pre-noah even.
Having said all that, I think that the problem with evolution for the devout is that it seems to cast dispersions on their faith, and they fear that inquiring minds will leave the flock. The people fear for their souls and the souls of their loved ones (so conditioned are they to believe in a afterlife in a grizzly Hell) but the clergy fear a drop in revenue (and so they fuel the fear of the faithful).
Peace!

Because it is a lie, a hoax, a fraud. It is not science, never has been, never will be. It is a philosophy, a world view, a religion. I could provide you with pages of evidence supporting a young earth and destroying the evolution hypothesis. No one in academia still defends Darwinian evolution. Those who still push this nonsense constantly have to change their theory to match the evidence. Face it, this "theory" is dying. People are wising up this hoax and rejecting it. The irrefutable evidence supporting it is simply not there.

Well, according to the Bible the Earth is only 6000 years old give or take. Ask a devout religious person if they believe in dinosaurs and how old their bones are then remind them that the Bible says the Earth is only about 6000 years old and watch them try to squirm out of that one!
