It is no such thing however and those who believe it is have fallen into the folly of Pride of Mind.
Who's Pride is on the line here because the whole world's scientific community won't bow to their personal religous beliefs?

Spirited: What can be said in response to such foolishness except only the Grace of God can possibly save fools from themselves.
Natural science is lower order knowledge of a world/cosmos that is passing away while the taproot of evolutionary thinking stretches back to the post-flood world where its’ constant companion was reincarnation in a more primitive form.
In a more advanced form evolution/reincarnation/natural science has been traced to Hermes Trismegistus (not his real name), the son of Mizraim, the son of Ham. Hermes was worshipped by Greeks and Romans as a Sun god, the god of natural science/theology (Mystery Religion) and reincarnation.
Darwin received his idea from his pantheist grandfather Erasmus Darwin, a higher order Mason known to attend séances. He in turn received it from Renaissance churchmen and humanists who had turned back to ancient occult pantheist doctrines such as the esoteric Kabbalah, Hermeticism, and Eastern pantheism/reincarnation/evolution/karma.
Nietzsche’s evolutionary conception was preceded by mystical ecstasy. He experienced two mystical encounters with the first one taking place in August, 1881. (Nihilism and Satanic Inversion: America’s ‘New’ Reality of Non-Self and Madness, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3076716/posts )
Charles Andler writes that previous to his scientific reasoning, Nietzsche received revelations during mystical encounters just as Spinoza did. Mystical ecstasy,
“.... preceded (Spinoza’s) system and his geometric form, thus, with Nietzsche mystical ecstasy preceded his scientific reasoning.” (Charles Andler cited by Henri De Lubac, “The Drama of Atheist Humanism,” p. 481)
According to Henri De Lubac, secret knowledge was revealed to Nietzsche that he was “....the first of men to know.’
The shock of it was sudden and profound. Though no direct document relates his experience sure evidence is found in an agitated page of Ecce Homo where Nietzsche wrote:
“Suddenly, with sureness, with indescribable delicacy, a thing makes itself seen, makes itself heard. It shakes you, it overwhelms you right to your innermost depths. You hear it...You let it fill you....A thought blazes forth like a flash of lightening...It imposes itself as a necessity...I never had to choose it. It is an ecstasy....You are enraptured, taken outside of yourself...All of this...is accompanied by a tumultuous feeling of liberty, of independence, of divinity...There you have my experience of the inspiration.” (Lubac, p. 472)
In the autumn of 1882 he experienced his second encounter which he described in the poem Sils Maria:
“I was sitting and waiting, without waiting for anything/Beyond good and evil, tasting Light sometimes and sometimes shade/Absorbed by this brew...When suddenly...what was one became two, And Zarathustra passed before me...” (ibid, p. 475)
It was a vision without a doubt, precise and sudden:
“I could tell you the day and the hour....Zarathustra has fallen on me, he assaults me..” (ibid)
Zarathustra was an evil spirit who confirmed to Nietzsche the ‘truth’ of the revelations already received, which included man’s evolution from worms:
“You [mankind] have made your way from worm to human, and much in you is still worm. Once you were apes, and even now the human being is still more of an ape than any ape is.” (Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra, Zarathustra’s Prologue section 3, trans. by G. Parkes, Oxford University Press, New York, 2005, p. 11)
Henceforth, Nietzsche is an inspired prophet who knows for certain that the God of Revelation is dead, that man’s evolution from worms is absolutely true, and that he is Jesus Christ’s successor, the ‘new’ Christ. Within ten days he drafted by way of automatic writing the whole first book of his prophecy. He called his finished work Zarathustra, the new Bible of scientific evolutionary naturalism, and told the world to throw away all other books, for now you have my Zarathustra, “a new Holy Book.”
Speaking through the writings of the ‘new’ Christ, Zarathustra went on to say that because God had died in the 19th century there would follow two terrible consequences beginning in the 20th century. (Romans 1:18)
First, the 20th century would become one of the most evil century’s in history (160,000,000-350,000,000 men, women, children murdered), and second, a universal madness (Romans 1:21, 22) would break out and turn the once glorious W. Europe and America upside-down.
Though apostates and the apostatizing professed themselves wise, their cognitive thought processes would become darkened (vain) and with their conscience dead to sin they would become fools, meaning they would accept and publicly profess incredibly stupid conceptions of themselves (i.e., man is an evolved worm, ape or robot; man is evolving into god).
And they will persist in elevating natural science and evolutionary thinking over the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
