I can understand accepting it while encorporating it into one's religious beliefs... but the idea that people still flat out deny it really boggles my mind.

I believe in god and I don't see any problem with accepting evolution.
The problem is Christians have a religion based on miracles, thanks to Paul, and the belief that the earth was made in 7 days about 5000 years ago. Any proof discrediting any of these ideas throws Christianity into the waste basket. So they will fight these ideas, no matter what logic says and they can't incorporate evolution into their religion.
The same problem rears it's ugly head when people claim they found the burial crypt of Jesus. If it was proven it would show that Jesus' body did not ascend to heaven, sending Christians to purgatory. The other side of the coin is it would prove Christ lived, sending atheists to god knows where. Good fun.
