I've spent a lot of time reading all sides of this issue. My conclusion is there is not enough evidence to elevate Darwin's origin of species theory into fact / law. Nor is it science to say the world is only 6,000 years old by adding the ages mentioned in the Bible.
In the 150 years since Darwin published his theory, there is much more known about the inner workings of a single cell. If Darwin studied molecular biology today, he'd probably change his mind about his theory. Yet Darwin's followers keep alive a flimsy philosophy rather than admit there is a God. Academia doesn't fare well in Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed either.
Conversely, most of God's followers do not understand the science enough to form an educated opinion on the matter; relying instead on sound bite theology and mimicking.
All sides: Go to your corners and quit fighting over this until you're willing to use intellectual honesty.

Since I have faith that God flung the universe into existence, I look at creation thru the intelligent design viewpoint. When I was an evolutionist I always was able to claim that, just maybe, chance was the explanation for this existence and it colored my perception. In short, I’m not sure I could have been converted from belief in evolution to intelligent design strictly on the evidence.
