While this might be a step too far for some here, I think many would be surprised just how full of holes the theory of evolution is as well.
There is definitely some truth to evolution -- particularly on shorter time scales -- but there are so many issues with evolutionary theory as a whole that continue to be ignored or brushed off as unimportant, that it's really just a house of cards waiting to collapse at this point.
Basically, scientists have GREATLY underestimated the complexity of the systems which support life and the timescales required to randomly produce these systems. Still, the establishment clings to it out of pride -- many careers and many fields have been established on the assumption that evolution is true -- and fear that they might lose hard-fought ground in the public sphere to religion which they disdain.
It's not evolution people think of, it's adaptation. The problem is not that it's full of holes, it's that people see only the holes and forget theories are called that so they can be altered with evidence. The theory of evolution is sound in practice. Religion is what will lose the fight every time, whether abrahamic or trust the SCIENCE!
