"The reason evolution has so many interested is that many ignore fundamental questions of existence (willingly or otherwise). Some others are blinded by groupthink and protectionism coupled with a dread that they will some day be accountable to the Designer. Others are merely stupid or insane."
 
I adjusted your post for accuracy. When you jump to name calling, you lose all pretense of objectivity.

Why would the Designer want to hold anyone to account?

LOL! No, you actually just proved, in action, the truth of that which I had previously posted.

When you jump to name calling, you lose all pretense of objectivity.

Actually, calling something by its true name is the first step in achieving objectivity. Which is why ID must be called what it is, religion; and evolution called what it is, science.

Moreover, it is a lie to call a scared, ignorant, brainwashed man "brave," or "learned" or "thoughtful," simply because you agree with the superstitions he espouses and prefers. (In fact, it is, in some sense, inhumane to pretend that he is not scared, ignorant and brainwashed, because it strips from him one of the avenues from which he might effectuate the change he needs.)

Similarly, it is a lie to call the result of countless hours of researching, theorizing, thinking, working, investigating, postulating, and debating which has occurred on the science of evolution -- and the literally millions of data points which confirm the theory -- "wrong," "incorrect" or a "lie," simply because you think it conflicts with the superstitions you espouse and prefer.

Why would the gigantic unfeeling machine intelligences of Epsilon Eridani 5 care what I think?

The reason evolution has so many interested is that it is strongly supported by vast amounts of evidence in the fields of genetics, biogeography, paleontology, and zoological morphology, and it is not contradicted by any known physical evidence.

I took the liberty of further refining the accuracy of your post, in the true spirit of the scientific method.
