why, it means you must worship charles darwin instead of God.

Apparently that is what it comes down to some people - if you think theories of darwin might have merit, you worship darwin and not God, and therefore you are some kind of Godless atheist.

Never in my life could I conceive of a God that would want us to not use our minds and our God given curiosity to find out where we came from and how.

But some, when they see a gap in a theory, want to fill in that gap by quickly saying "IT WAS GOD!" instead of offering up one or scientifically based theories that may hold up or may be proven false.

What an utter waste of our God given intelligence it would be to handle all scientific inquiry like that.

It's worse than that. Many here don't even look for real "gaps". They use their personal incredulity without even studying the underlying science, or rely upon bogus claims such as arguments involving the second law of thermodynamics. They don't insert God into gaps that they find, they assume from the start that all of the science is wrong and that their God is the right answer, then refuse to do any research for fear of finding out how weak their objections are.
