> Why is it when evolution is discussed, the subject of God always comes up?

Not "always." Only when evolution is discussed by people who don't understand the theory and the overwhelming evidence for it, but who do have a religion-based opposing view.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

This has been my point all along. Too many evos lack understanding and argue for a religious world view of evolution instead of using logical and scientific reason.

I agree. Their issue is not whether evolution is a valid scientific theory, but is it a threat to their religious belief. I've never had a problem in balancing the theoretical with the spiritual because they are not the same subject to me. To others, such as Muslim terrorists and Intelligent Designers, religion is all there is. Had Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in a fundamental Christian retreat, a Muslim Mosque, or a Jewish Chabad, most of those posting on this thread would not be here.
