However, there are many people who try to trip up Christians who don't know how to argue back with them or who try to get them to reject their faith, or try to force them to choose one or the other.
There are many christians who try and trip up non-believers as well. They are called missionaries. Let's not pretend like it is only atheists trying to get people to change their mind. Both atheists and missionaries think that they are providing a life changing experience.
With all of that, if a person is familiar with science then they know that it can't be used to support either atheism or theism. So perhaps we should blame scientific education and not the propensity for people to try and change other people's mind. I do understand why you are so hesitant to support evolution because you may cause other christians to stumble. Perhaps you should focus on educating christians in the sciences?
