So, all those thousands of biologists and biology teachers must be living lawless licentious lives (say that three times fast).

I have no idea how they are living, but they are certainly fools if they deny at least the possibility of God; given the lack of empirical or temporal evidence explaining how we evolved or how order came from chaos...The god-denying leap of faith makes the god-fearing leap of faith look like a simple equation with an obvious answer.

You are looking at the tree and ignoring the forest, Jr.

First, there is tonnes* of evidence for how humanity evolved from hominids. Secondly, your claim that evolutionists simply don't want to abide by God's rules is obviously false on its face. If it were true, the jails would be full of evolutionists, and evos would be copulating in the streets. Instead, we find just the opposite.

Indeed, most evolutionists are Christians, and even the handful that are atheists typically follow a philosophy of enlightened self-interest.

*a tonne is a metric ton (~2200 pounds). Since this is bigger than the ton, you know their is a lot more evidence for evolution than you thought.

Who says that those who teach or support the teaching of evolution deny the possibility of God. I am not aware that anyone on the science side of this debate maintains that, it is purely a fiction of the religious fundamentalists that to believe in evolution is to deny God.
