You are not that person if you accept the fact of evolution. As karri0n pointed out, I had a stoner moment when I was editing my post. I didn't say what I meant. There are some creationists that deny the reality of evolution because of the very fact that we don't know about life's origin. Our lack of knowledge about the absolute origins in no way affects the extremely strong evidence we have for continuous evolution from single celled organisms to us.Why is it frustrating? I am that person, can you explain the start of life itself, nobody has, it would be great if you could. Evolution is a known fact. They may call it a theroy, but how can you call it a theroy when all around us evolution is happening everyday. As for myself, I also believe in Creation, untill somebody comes along and proves me wrong. I am well versed in science, so I would love to discuss this further.
Most religion nowdays sadly has nothing to do with spiritual growth.
The only theoretical parts have to do with how things evolve, which is where natural selection is named as the powerful mechanism. This was the incredible intuitive leap that Darwin made. This is one of those things that seem so obvious in hindsight, when we look at the state of knowledge about the natural world we had during his time, we can see how amazing his insight was.
Unfortunately, some of the religious scientists that I know are using this gap in knowledge to place their god. This will get harder and harder to do as we learn more about abiogenesis.
