"Evolution = religion."

No, unlike religious doctrines, scientific theories are always subject to falsification by new evidence and better ideas.
Further, as many have noted, in science: "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Finally, religion is how we worship the Supernatural, while science is explicitly and exclusively devoted to study of the natural realm.
So science would only begin to approach comparison to a false religion if & when scientists believed their theories despite contradictory evidence, or better ideas.

And that is far from the case with evolution theories.

Nope, it's religion. You can't falsify evolution or global warming.

It is exactly the case, however, when it comes to the AGW theory.
