#2A quote from the article: "You don’t have to be a benighted creationist ..." Can we please keep these type of articles off HN please? I don’t come here to be insulted. I have other sites for that!
Sir Isaac Newton was not a simple nor stupid man and he gave honor to the Creator. Just because science has not figured God out, does not deny His existence.
A whole lot of reasons for what allowed the Internet, HN, science, and technology to be where it is at today came out of a nation (silly apparently to the writer) which put "In God We Trust" on everything.

No one else is required to cater to your religious beliefs, no matter what those may be. Also, this is an article about evolutionary biology, not creationism. The part you object to is easily overlooked. I'm sure this issue is very important to you, but I believe the best move here is to simply turn the other cheek.

I think you misunderstood the article. American Creationists are believers who reject what science has figured out in favor of biblical literalism. They even built the Creationist Museum, whose exhibits depict "the coexistence of humans and non-avian dinosaurs, say that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old, and dispute the idea that life evolved into its current forms." – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_Museum

Science isn't trying to figure god out any more than it's trying to figure fairies out. Science focuses its efforts on understanding reality.

The big question of science is "How ... ?"
The big question of religion is "Why ... ?"
The two solve different problems and could coexist without so many animosity on each side.

I disagree here. For example, relativity and quantum mechanics explain how our world behave but we have no idea why these theories are true or even why can the universe be described with mathematical equations ?

That's not the important distinction. Religion is also trying to figure out reality. If science thought it could detect fairies, then science would study fairies. The distinction is rather in method; science uses (hopefully) well-designed experiments and peer review; religion uses...other methods.
