Do evolutionists posses a religious zeal in their defence of the theory of evolution, and if so why?
My father believed zealously in God. He also believed zealously that the earth is round and he believed zealously that men have walked on the moon. He believed zealously without any scientific reasoning whatsoever.
So yes, it is hypothtically possible for somebody to believe zealously in evolution without any scientific reasoning. Of course, that isn't a reflection on the scientific basis for a round earth, men walking on the moon or evolution. It's a reflection on the person.

Re: Evolution is a FACT.

By the way, could somebody please explain how the simple common ancestor life form, traditionally taught as being the "humble" amoeba could have 290 billion units of DNA- some one hundred times that of the human being when evolution clearly teaches a progression in complexity (and a gaining of genetic information) from simple life forms to the most complex such as yours truly!
The amoeba is your cousin. His grandfather was an amoeba-like organism and your grandfather was an amoeba-like organism. It happens that he looks more like grandpa than you do.
I think your motivation for denying evolution and accepting God is that you don't like your relatives.
