Guns Philosphies don't kill people, people kill people.

True enough, and evolution isn't even a philosophy. It's the scientific conclusion from the evaluation of all the available evidence.

It could be wrong. I doubt it. It's been examined for longer than Einstein's theories. For many, it's whether to believe that Genesis 1 and 2 are literal, or to believe the facts on the ground.

You'd think that the biblical literalist would finally accept fact. It's not like the Bible isn't filled with parables and allegory. Jesus openly used them. It's the insistence that Genesis is actual fact that causes the controversy.

Further, evolutionary theory doesn't challenge the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, nor any of the spiritual, moral teachings in the Bible, from incest to prohibition on homosexuality. I've argued here that indeed, "Darwinism" reinforces them -- adapt to God's spiritual "environment" via the way of Judeo-Christianity and survive to thrive, or fail to adapt and perish as countless pagan civilizations have perished over the millenia, and will in future ages as well.

Evolutionary theory doesn't challenge God; it challenges man's pride.
