There is an abundance of evidence in many scientific fields that add 
weight to the theory of evolution.  I find that evidence for evolution 
abundance, wide ranging from geology, anthropology, genetics, species 
differentiation, etc., while the evidence for a plethora of deities is 
completely non-existence so definitely not repeatable.  No evidence for 
fairy tales, the same category as mythology.  One cannot even use the 
religious mythology to decide in any rational way which set of gods one 
must offer libations too or practice self mutilations for.

“That's the problem with religion: you beat your way past the [greedy] 
clerics, fight your way through the demons, stand before the holy of 
holies, and when you rip away the veil, there's nothing there but a 
mirror.” --Owen Rowley quote
