That's a good question and I have often wondered about it as well. What's it to them if we do or don't believe what they say about dead monkeys in the ground and amoeba-to-human transformations? I mean, it's really up to them to argue convincingly for whatever it is that we are supposed to accept from them as true. Why to they rage when aren't successful at making a convert? They seem to have an attitude that we owe them unquestioning intellectual assent for anything they say. Even the slightest skepticism of their often specious and purile arguments invokes flaming wrath and brings to the surface some remarkable anti-God, anti-soul and anti-Christian sentiments. There's clearly something not normal about that.

Perfectly stated!

If, for instance, I knew an atheist who didn't believe in gravity, I might try to demonstrate for them why gravity is real, but I wouldn't claim that it was due to atheism.

As I posted last night, I am not aware of a SINGLE scientific or technological breakthrough in the last 150 that relied upon evolutionary theory. We have seen the invention of the airplane, the automobile, men on the Moon, radio, television, computers, the internet nuclear power and incredible medical advance and NONE of them relied upon Darwinian theory.

However, I am acutely aware of the death and destruction brought about by adherents to Darwinian eugenics, this destruction is ongoing and the death toll is at least ONE MILLION PEOPLE PER WEEK.

It seems that the difficulty arises when one has an agenda beyond the mere subject of evolution.

I'm not sure that means anything. Theories exist to explain a certain portion of the physical world. Whether or not such explanations can be used for practical applications isn't really relevant to the question of whether or not the theory is correct.

Whatever are you talking about?
