Do evolutionists posses a religious zeal in their defence of the theory of evolution ...
Yes, we do. That's why we blew up the Institute for Creation Research, burned Ken Ham at the stake, and declared a fatwa against Phillip Johnson.
Of course, some of the more mild-mannered among us just go from door to door with pamphlets asking if you've heard the good news about Darwin. But I say, let us give the infidel no quarter!
Repent, Genologist, of your Darwinless ways, or you will burn forever in hell while demons poke you with pitchforks. Let us now turn to page 156 of our hymnals and sing that rousing old hymn "What A Friend We Have In Huxley".

Re: Evolution is a FACT.
What other general reason has there ever been for rejecting any authority?
Yeah, Genologist, why do you reject the authority of Allah, his chosen Prophet, and his Holy Koran?
It's the "Don't tell me what to do, and how to live my life" syndrome.
I see. Well, you must speak for yourself. But don't you think it's possible that the rest of us might have another reason?

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! Perhaps this simple thing will confound the wise, and the "Fact" of evolution will once more "need" to be "in evolution".
Sure thing. The amoeba is a eukaryote like us and unlike the universal common ancestor, which all evolutionists agree must have been a prokaryote; and the traditional teaching to which you refer appears to have been entirely invented by creationists.
