Why do Intellifundies & Skeptics debate evolution?

What is it about evolution that makes intellifundies (and skeptics) crazy? I see people debating the finest details of evolutionary theory. But why? How is it relevant to anything?

It's one freaking posuk in Breishis for goodness sake!

וַיִּיצֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָדָם, עָפָר מִן-הָאֲדָמָה

And this in Chapter 2, which is anyway different from Chapter 1, where no "dust" is even mentioned:

וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָדָם בְּצַלְמוֹ, בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים בָּרָא אֹתוֹ

Not only that, but this comes a few words after God says "Let US make man" which Rashi explains is not to be taken too literally, and several pesukim after it describes a rakia dome, which is obviously not literal, and a few more pesukim after freaking grass growing before the freaking sun was even freaking created.

What's wrong with you fundies?! It couldn't possibly be metaphorical? Your entire religion depends on intepreting those 4 words in Breishis absolutely literally? God, who runs the world in a hidden mysterious way, couldn't possibly have used evolution to create man? What's WRONG with you!!!!

And as for the skeptics, what's your problem???? So lets say the theory of evolution does have some holes in it. So freaking what? And therefore God exists and wrote the Torah? Is that the conclusion you're so scared of?

Evolution being correct doesn't disprove the Torah, and Evolution being incorrect doesn't show anything at all. The emergence of man is a no bigger mystery than the emergence of the universe.

Is there any proof, evidence or data for God's existence? ZERO. Is there any proof, evidence or data for God writing the Torah. ZERO. If evolution is an incorrect theory, is there any more proof that God wrote the Torah (or even exists)? ZERO.

When are people (skeptics and believers alike) going to get it into their thick heads:

When it comes to super-natural or super-temporal (i.e. before the universe began) theories, facts, conjectures, entities or whatever - there is ZERO DATA, ZERO EVIDENCE and no way of knowing anything at all. And you can't reason from the natural to the super-natural, or from the temporal to the super-temporal - by definition. Because the supernatural is by definition entirely different than the natural.And the temporal is by definition from the super-temporal.

Is it possible the world should exist by chance? How the heck could I know (or anybody else for that matter). Do we have a sample set of universes and then we can measure how many existed by chance? NO! Is it possible a God created the Universe? Could be, but who knows?

One thing skeptics and believers should learn from Rav Moshe Shternbuch - when we don't know something, we don't know something. And no amount of wishing, faith or any other emotion can make us know.
