Makes sense.

However it seems disingenuous to me... Religion says everything was created in six literal days there's no way to explain it otherwise.

You're stereotyping just a bit here...religion will say that, yes...but there are many, many religious people who think the literal explanation is wrong.
"One day to God is like a thousand years to man." I think that says a lot.

Science comes up and demonstrates that to be incorrect and provides a mechanism (just like gravity is a mechanism), so the goalposts are moved to abiogenesis. Lets say we someday DO find out exactly how it all started, then the goalposts will be moved to the big bang (and already have been actually). The universe is too finely tuned. Then science demonstrates the multiple universe theory correct and our universe is actually naturally selected out of multiple universes, the goalposts are moved again to the multiverse... and so on and so on. An honest scientific theory doesn't do that.

Agreed 100%. Personally I think too many religious folks are stuck referring to evolution as 'we come from apes'...in other words Darwinism. And instead of opening their eyes...they chose to stay ignorant on the subject...and like you said...trace everything back to the 'we can't explain it so God is the answer.'

Exactly, evolution has had a positive impact on the lives of the entire planet with its science.. while creationism, what benefit has it brought?

Outside of debates like these...?
Nothing really...but the constant bickering of religious folks and their ignorant viewpoints.
