“You are right, although I would clarify that Evolution has been used by “Atheists” to attack religion, Darwin certainly never considered what he wrote as an attack on religion (from what I have read) merely an attempt to understand the Almighty’s work.”
Things are usually pretty simple for me. If I disagree with almost everything someone supports then I ask myself why would I support anything they endorse. Sure we can learn from anyone but I don’t believe you can consider these issues in isolation.
Evolution is a tool of those seeking to destroy religion in the US. America was founded by religious people seeking to exercise their religion.
Are genetics real, yes. Did humans evolve from pond scum or a chemical reaction in a rain drop? No, I don’t believe that is possible.
Please be very careful with this "simplicity". Christianity was used to suppress and attack Jews (Catholicism) and Christianity was also used as a justification for slavery (Protestantism [my father is a Methodist preacher whom told me about the North and South break up of the Church over slavery]).
We do not hold all Christian teachings in contempt over these false interpretations of God's will.
How so?
It seems that only creationists make this charge. Many scientists both support evolution and have faith. For example, Dr. Ken Miller, an expert in the Kitzmiller case, stated in the record that he is a Christian and wants his children to follow the same religion. Is he a hypocrite for also ardently advocating against creationism? No. Believing in Christianity and believing in evolution are independent of each other.
As Henry Ward Beecher demonstrated over a century ago, it’s pretty easy to reconcile science with scripture.
