Oddly, an underestimation of natural selection’s creative power clouds the vision not just of the intensely religious but also of the militantly atheistic.

Anything but God. The personification of what is supposed to merely be a process in attributing *creative power* to natural selection, shows that people just can't get away from the design that is so obvious in a cursory look at nature.

Evos attribute to natural selection what creationists attribute to God.

Natural selection has just become a replacement for God for them. Rename it and one doesn't have to answer to it, or have it put any inconvenient demands on one's life.
