“anything and everything has to be done to prop up the humanist religion of evolutionism,”

You clearly don’t understand the difference between science and religion. Evolution, like all science, explains observed phenomena using natural processes. When observations (including those of the fossil record) don’t match the theory, a new theory is conceived. This is part of the “scientific method”.

Religion, on the other hand, invokes the “unknowable” and “supernatural”. In the face of observed facts that contradict religious dogma, that religion generally stridently insists that its dogma is correct, and the observations are wrong. Examples of this from history include the Church insisting that the Sun revolves around the Earth, and that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Most Christian sects have admitted their error in these cases. One notable current issue of this nature is the insistence by some Christians that the Earth is only 5,000 years (or so) old. Numerous scientific evidence indicates that’s just not true...we’ll see if religion accepts reality once again.

Given the historical track record of religion vs. science on issues considered just as fundamental and important as evolution at the time, I invite you to consider the likely outcome.
