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.

An excellent point. I will hazard a guess that if the stars had their DNA, they would be after the astronomers too.

Certain subjects are just touchier than others. Let's sue natural selection for giving the species this characteristic.
