If you knew anything about the history of science, you’d know that the WORLDVIEW of origins has next to NOTHING to do with scientific advancement, because some of the greatest advances in science were made by those believing in intelligent design, including young earth creationists like Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.
If you knew anything about recent History, you’d know that atheistic evolutionists comprise the overwhelming preponderance of the greatest butchers of human life the world has ever seen. They were their own gods, determining for themselves good and evil, who shall live and who shall die. Truth is something they make up as they go along.
They didn't believe in the Atomic Theory either, does that make it wrong? Can you name any scientific advancement made by a scientist in the 20th century made by any scientist who didn't believe in evolution?

Yeah, there were never any wars, murders, adultery and the whole world lived in one big Christian Utopia all until Charles Darwin came along and ruined it all
Pluueezze, Stalin didn't believe in Evolution and Hitler was a Christian
Dumb argument anyhow, even if evolution was misapplied by people doesn't mean it's wrong anymore than the fact that people have been murdered by being pushed out of windows makes the theory of gravity wrong

First, you seem to associate "atheistic" and "evolutionist" as a given, which several people on FR and some on this thread have contradicted. Evolution is not incompatible with faith for many people.
Second, associating a scientific theory with a dictator or butcher doesn't have anything to do with the validity of the theory - I dare say they believed in the theory of gravity as well. It's a common fallacy to try to discredit a theory or fact by citing the faults of its adherents.
Finally, I know this about recent history, and maybe you should too - that the Soviet Union rejected genetics and evolution in favor of Lysenkoism, an ideology-driven repudiation of science. Political adherents of Lysenkoism denounced the dissenting biologists as "fly lovers" and "people haters" instead of showing real scientific evidence to back up their claims.
Sounds depressingly familiar that people never learn. Science is what you find, not what you want to find to back up your personal beliefs. I only hope we wake up before our economy starts down the road of the USSR.
