With regards to Darwin, it does amaze me the number of religious people who denounce his theories even though they have never even gone near his work let alone actually read it
I remember the JW's trying to use the "how can an eye evolve?" question.
Darwin actually answered many questions like this in his work, but that's ignored by the creationists because they don't want their questions answered, or maybe it is just because they've never actually bothered to read his work prefering to listen to the uneducated opinions of their religious colleagues (uneducated in that their religious colleagues have also not bothered to read Darwin)
