"Evolutionary theory had no effect on the production of atomic power"

No, but solid science did. The bomb was not built with religious belief and people's superstitions, but with hard core math.

The comparison is between beliefs ( religion) and facts (science), not between biology and physics.

"but with hard core math."

What is the math behind evolution (specifically single-cells->people evolution, not just variation within a species). Creation deals with a recorded history, and a set of fossil evidence. Evolutionary theory discards all documentary evidence a priori, as well as all non-uniformitarian and non-gradualistic theories a priori. That doesn't mean they are false, or even that they aren't supported by lots of evidence.

When looking at _history_, you have a lot of different barriers and possibilities than when looking at _operational science_. To relate the two as synonymous is quite silly.

Phyical sciences are "solid science"(at least more so than biological), whereas evolutionary theory is a guessamate. Your comparison doesn't work.

'Such sophistication and efficiency have led even hardened atheists to remark on the apparent design in living organisms.

Francis Crick, a Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, noted, "Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed but rather evolved." '
