A leading scientist in the Israeli government has assailed Darwin's theory of evolution, and averred that children should be taught alternative hypotheses on the origin of life. Yes, you see where this is going. Goddidit.

Empirically speaking, evolution is obviously false. After all, any, even the briefest, survey on the state of the human kind will show that most members of the human race are still monkeys (well, apes, technically).

How else does one explain, inter alia, believing in and worshipping an imaginary being, and actually convincing oneself that he/she/it/they talks back?

Even without delving into the absurdities of individual religions, the very notion of there being a supernatural intelligent entity with omniscience and omnipresence, which is in regular active interaction with the world is preposterous beyond words.

Bowing to air as opposed to a tree is a question of degree of lunacy, not type. It's tantamount to one day deciding you are no longer being stalked by unicorns but by horses.

Is the theory of evolution the be-all and end-all in answering the multitudinous questions about the origins of life? No. It has many holes and does not answer more than a few of the more recondite facets of nature. However, it is continuously updated and subjected to scientific scrutiny. Is it possible that our entire reality was created by a supreme being? Yes, though that possibility defies reason and invokes far more questions than it answers. Howbeit, even if it is true, there is a massive logical hiatus between that postulate and the fundamental tenets of global religions past and present.
