They can keep their heads iin the sand and worship Darwin if that makes them happy, but evo is still a religion, proven by the zealots you just mentioned. It's not about science at all. I used to try to reason with such people, but they just don't get it.

Yeah, we get it, everything is a religion. I, myself, am a devout gravitationalist.
"I used to try to reason with such people"
Before you can reason with someone, you first must know reason.
"I used to try to reason with such people, but they just don't get it."
Let me guess...
2thePoint: Evolution is wrong!
SuchPeopl: But there's all this evidence?
2thePoint: The evidence is wrong!
SuchPeopl: Wrong how?
2thePoint: It supports evolution!
SuchPeopl: Well, yes, that's why it is evidence. Other than not liking the conclusion, do you have any specific problem with it?
2thePoint: Life can't come from non-life!
SuchPeopl: None of the evidence is saying it did. And neither is evolution, incidentally, though it would seem to be a natural conclusion to avoid infinite regress.
2thePoint: There are no transitional fossils!
SuchPeopl: Surely just about all fossils are transitional? Unless at the end of a 'branch' there will always be fossil ancestors and fossil descendants.
2thePoint: It breaks the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics!
SuchPeopl: How does evidence break a law of thermodynamics?
2thePoint: No evolution does!
SuchPeopl: Really? How?
2thePoint: The 2LOT says <blahblah>!
SuchPeopl: Not according to this textbook on thermodynamics. Or this one. Or this one. Or this one.
2thePoint: Evolution teaches atheism!
SuchPeopl: So why are there so many theist biologists? Evolution says that complex life can arise by natural means. Which is neutral as regards the existence or otherwise of gods.
2thePoint: Evolution promotes bestiality?
SuchPeopl: Er, WTF?!
2thePoint: By saying we are related to other animals, it encourages us to interbreed with them.
SuchPeopl: Really? So does being related to your mother encourage you to commit incest? As to us being animals, we are by any consistent definition of 'animal'. That we are so because of common descent is supported by the same evidence you have yet to find any problem with.
2thePoint: Darwin recanted evolution on his deathbed!
SuchPeopl: Not according to the people who were there. Besides, whether or not something is true is independent of whether the original proposer still believes it or not.
2thePoint: ARRGGGHHHH! There's no arguing with you people! You are immune to reason!
SuchPeopl: Well, I don't see how I could be immune to reason. You've yet to expose me to any!
"I used to try to reason with such people, but they just don't get it."
You forgot to use reason in your reasoning.
Yes, let us offer a sheep to the great god Darwin.
Hey, while we're at it, lets mutilate two hundred penis's and offer the foreskins to a king.
Hold on, sorry, I'm stealing parts of your scriptures there...
Can you imagine?
Church of Darwin
Einstien Cathedral
Tesla Abbey
Faraday Sanctuary
Newton Temple
Hawking HolyHouse
Just stop it with the shit that your religious beliefs are equal to the proven applications of science.
They can keep their heads iin the sand and worship god if that makes them happy, but christianity is still a religion, proven by the zealots you just mentioned. It's not about science at all. I used to try to reason with such people, but they just don't get it.
That's what you meant to say, isn't it?

<I don't worship Darwin, I worship Faraday. He brought us true power and enlightenment. >
I know I'm late to the party, but I couldn't resist adding this:
I used to worship Heisenburg, but now I'm not certain.
...nyuk nyuk nyuk
"but evo is still a religion"
Question: if Evo is a religion:

...then are drivers of Subaru Imprezas Protestants to the owners of Mitsubishi Lancer Evo lutions being Catholics, and I'll just go get my coat, shall I?! X3
Me, I'm neither: I have a personal relationship with Bugatti Veyron.
Did you know that Jesus drove a Honda? He and his disciples were all in one Accord . X3
"all. I used to try to reason with such people, but they just don't get it.
"
You weren't using reason. Just showing you don't understand evolution
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
