As in many cults, adherents have to attribute cause in name of their god, even when it is an awkward fit. Hence, biology news articles often claim that such-and-so is an example of evolution at work.

I think he/she is saying that biology is a cult and evolution is a cause these cultists work for in the name of their god.
Doesn't really make anymore sense written that way but that's what I got out of it. That and a splitting headache.
Translation from fundiespeak to English: "Them evil scientists worship evolution so they have to claim that various different processes are examples of evolution so they can keep worshiping their god."
Somehow it's evil for scientists to attribute new findings to their "false god evolution," but it's perfectly OK for fundies to attribute God for helping them find their car keys.
I've read this three times, and still can't understand it. I guess it's that my brain, developed by evolution over thousands of years, has developed to the point where it can't understand bullshit.

Oh? Like the Christians who attribute earthquakes, mass shootings, and 9/11 (the "cross" left at the site) to God? Because things like that are pretty fucking awkward and makes me embarrassed, retroactively, that I was ever a Christian.
Maybe that's because such-and-so is an example of evolution at work.
Evolution is happening. It's a simple observable fact. Even die-hard Creationists admit that "micro-evolution" happens.
What we're arguing about is (1) has it been happening for 6 thousand years or 2.5 billion years and (2) how far can evolution go (i.e. can it create new species).
So, when someone offers visible proof of evolution in action you dismiss it with a comparison to cults. However, when someone publishes a book describing their adventures in heaven and/or hell your lot lines up to buy it.
And you still expect to be taken seriously

A good explanation of creationists.
Dearest Pooua,
You know what? I would roll my eyes, and then patiently, but with a heavy tone of smug, condescending superiority, explain why you are a moron, but screw that. I just ate some insane wings, washed them down with a bottle of root beer (IBC, and not some cheap, peasant brand like A&W, like you'd probably drink (from a can no-less!), and am in the process of chasing it with a dish of cherry vanilla ice cream, so not even your level of stupidity can bring me down right now.
Love always,
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
