Certainly thats true, but you however you have Holocaust deniers, including some involved with the Vatican.
People who deny facts and circumvent logic are a threat to all people, religious and non religious.

On the other hand you have the Theory of Evolution. Which is a scientific theory that states that as best as we understand things right now, this what happened during the last x millions of years. As scientists though, we realize our knowledge is not perfect, and there could be something out there just waiting to be discovered that could drastically change the way we view the world.

That's disingenuous, because Evolution is fact, we have many fields of science that agree on this, in fact a lot of modern medicine owe's its success to this fact (theory).
Because laymen people have no clue that Theory in Science is as close to fact as we can get, understanding the Scientific method; they relate the word to current English thinking Theory has little strength. But in Science its obvious we don't doubt the Theory of relativity, the Theory of Gravity, the Atomic Theory, etc...
Its simply when a theory (overwhelmingly fact based Science data) contradicts religion is when they fight back against truth.
If Evolution has some great flaw that would be contradicted, its survived in the last century DNA, Genetics, Advanced Biology and many other advancements which could have thrown doubt into Darwins great idea, but have ALL supported and added to the massive mountain of evidence to the power of this fact of evolution.

To claim that human beings have the same level of understanding about something that can be independently verified as fact, such as the world being round to be on the same level of human understanding as evolution is a total incorrect statement.

That's a terrific nonsense statement right there lol.
