John Quincy Adams
It is so obvious to every reasonable being, that he did not make himself; and the world which he inhabits could as little make itself that the moment we begin to exercise the power of reflection, it seems impossible to escape the conviction that there is a Creator

Benjamin Franklin
It might be judged an affront to your understandings should I go about to prove this first principle: the existence of a Deity and that He is the Creator of the universe;

More evidence that no one remembers anything taught in high school biology class. Evolution is not about how the universe was created.

But Evolution is entirely about the origins of life and the celestial origins of the universe; to those entirely ignorant of the theory (i.e. Creationists).

This is their big bugaboo about Science, they think that a detailed and accurate description of reality somehow denies the creator of this reality, rather than showing that reality exists by utilization of normal and predictable forces.

For some reason they do not go after Astronomers with the same fervor. After all, they show that stars form by Gravity and Nuclear Fusion, indicating that no miraculous intervention is needed to create our Sun. Yet showing that stars and our sun can form by natural means is somehow not as severe a blow to their self love as indicating that the Human species could have arisen by natural means.

[tacticalogic]

Evolution is not about how the universe was created.

It is for the "special creation" proponents. You see very few people explicitly express a belief in this position, but the arguments seem to invariably and implicitly steer the debate in that direction. It's quite curious, really.
