Evolution is the only scientific theory which has as its goal to confound a particular religion. It seem that Darwin had 'issues' that went beyond a mere concern for the promotion of science.

"A promotion of a certain kind of science" (ie: junk science), is more accurate.

Darwin was a failed Divinity student. He may have gotten mad at God (like so many others did and still do) when he read John 6:37, 44, and 65-66. :D

No, it completely ignores religion. If you consider it to have a goal to confound religion, then it is not one specific religion that it confounds, but hundreds or possibly thousands that have origins stories based on ancient tribal explanations for what we see around us.
