Shouldn`t those be asked in biology or one of the sciences?
Whats the deal here ?

If you were really interested in the answer that would be the right place to ask. If you want religious zealot nonsense post it here.

Question's about evolution/ biology and sciences have nothing to do with R&S. They should be asked in the other section's that they have available for them.

Some people think the two are connected, they may be asking in R & S to see how others might reconcile believing in both.
I don't think it's totally inappropriate to ask here in that context, if they are asking evolution questions without asking a religious/spiritual question with it then I would think it belongs in another area.

Actually it should be in the science section, but it seems that some scientists (not all, but yes some do) look for an explanation of life that leaves out the possibility of a Creator, so that makes it related to religion.

Because the only major reason to fail to accept the theory of evolution is out of misplaced religious fervor.
Besides, creation science gets laughed out of the science section, on the basis of the whole 'not being science' thing.

It probably should be but many atheists show an amazing lack of knowledge about the fact that there are no tenable models for the creation of life other than God (and through to Jesus his son)
"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine
Even Antony Flew the former atheist (30+ years of speaking as an atheist) that had debated men such as C.S. Lewis (also a former atheist turned Christian) recently said that the latest biological research "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved."

They seem to think it's a sore spot, but 75% of Christians don't have much of a problem with the topic. In fact, PROTESTANTISM proves it exists to a degree!

because 99% of the christians on R&S don't seem to understand that religion and science can work together and that it's ok to believe in both the bible and evolution. they view the two as being in opposition to one another and therefore for them, christian vs. atheist equates to the same thing as creation vs. evolution.

Usually because when they demand proof for Evolution, the last thing on earth they want is actual evidence--they'd much rather recycle the tired old "banana" arguments.

Religious folks are terrified of evolution. It shows they are not the special "chosen" people of god. It shows they evolved from animals. It destroys the adam and eve myth, and pretty much destroys god. So yeh, it should be in science, but they come here for comfort from their fellow delusional com-padres.
