I can't speak for others, but I assure you that to me, at least, the Theory of Evolution is not a religion or even a philosophy. To me, it is simply what it's title says it is: a scientific theory. It has the same moral imperative as does the Pythagorean Theorem or the Electro-weak Theory: none at all. It is simply a way of explaining a feature of the observable world, i.e. speciation.
I would be excited if some other way where discovered to explain the origin of species, because that would be very interesting, but an alternative to natural selection hasn't been found in 150 years, and probably never will be found.
Remember, in Galileo's day, people had the same attitude to his work as you do to evolution.
Evolution is nothing more than a materialist belief system imposed on the unobservable, unrepeatable past. The fact that you don’t see this speaks volumes about how successful our Temple of Darwin reeducation centers were at brainwashing you into believing that darwood’s fanciful creation myth in any way resembles hard science.
The Pythagorean Theorem has immense moral imperative! It describes the indisputable truth about the relationship in terms of ratio of the hypoteneuse of a right angled triangle to it's other sides. It would be a violation of our conscience to deny the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem. If you needed to calculate distance within a plane, given the length of two sides, you would never use anything else. It would be an absurd and meaningless sin!
Truth is the only moral imperative in the universe.
