Well MD, you have to realise that all the religious texts manage to fit the origin of life and rules of the world into 1 relatively easy to read book. For people who have not been as exposed to science, as we have, I can only imagine that they assume evolution is understandable within an entire read as well.
I think by reading the website links I gave, there will be more of an understanding on the complexity of it all, and hopefully the painstakingly slow research and evidence that has been put into it will be apparent.
I think a lot of people who are not scientifically minded think of evolution as a religion similar but contradicting to their own.
