People just get their scrotums in a twist over the idea that evoution might apply to humans. That's what gets them all worked up. Fine then. Evolution applies to bacteria, insects, fungi, plants and animals, but we are special and different.

There. Does that make you happy?
Philip is right, taking ibuprofen doesn't require a belief in evolution. Believing in evolution doesn't make you special.

I would compare evolution denial to football fans claiming their team got robbed by the refs when they didn't. Yes, it's often obviously incorrect, but they believe it because they want to and there isn't much harm in it. Everyone holds some beliefs like that, it's human nature. Not to be applauded, but it is silly to accuse them all of idiocy.
