Christine O'Donnell: "Evolution is a myth"
I've never seen a person deny evolution that actually understood it. "Why don't monkeys evolve into people today" -- if anyone says this then it is clear that they don't understand the scientific theory they oppose. Atheists tend to be more knowledgeable about science (evolution specifically) because we know we don't have all the answers. Theists on the other hand lose their natural curiosity of the world -- for no matter how complicated the details are -- 'God did it' is the ultimate answer for them. This is why I think atheists should from time to time feel empathy towards theists, they are prisoners of their own delusion. I remember back when I was a Christian (up until my later teens) that I would feel very guilty about thinking about whether evolution was true, like I was betraying god for believing something which contradicts the bible. I bet the majority of Christians are afraid of offending their god, so they do everything they can to ignore the fact of evolution. Creationists are not on the internet looking up information on evolution -- but you will find that many atheist/evolution apologists look up a lot of info. on religion as well as creationists arguments (they do this to argue them).
