Those who oppose evolution should make an effort to understand what they're arguing against.
The Theory of Evolution. (Excellent introductory encyclopedia article.)

"The president, a born-again Christian, has proclaimed his own scepticism about Darwinism in the past. “On the issue of evolution, the verdict is still out on how God created the Earth,”

Send a copy to the Times. They apparently think "how the world got here" is related to the question of evolution. When IDers or Creationists suggest such a link, they get blasted pretty quickly here.

The word "evolution" is often used as a shorthand for the modern theory of evolution of species based upon Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, which states that modern species are the products of an extensive process of evolution that began over three billion years ago with simple single-celled organisms, and that evolution via natural selection accounts for the great diversity of life, extinct and extant. . . . 1. The common descent of all organisms from (more or less) a single ancestor.

And how is this established? Common traits (which can be ascribed to a Creator); the fossil record (which the article admits is weak even without referring to the Cambrian Explosion); phylogeny (which stems from the crushingly descredited Haeckel); and genetic sequencing which actually makes some sense for the theory although that too has problems. For instance, The comparative mapping data based on the consensus linkage map show a considerable amount of chromosomal conservation retained between man and chicken during evolution. This is in sharp contrast with the comparative mapping data between chicken and mouse, in which the amount of chromosomal conservation is considerably lower.

Now, if God exists (and He does) what's the problem with believing in a Creator who involves Himself in His creation? This is nothing rational about attacking lines of thought that questions the belief that life sprang by chance from a single cell which somehow popped up in violation of biological law.
