IS EVOLUTION A RELIGION?
Since evolution asks the same question as religion, telling us where we came from, where we are going, and what we should do on the way, evolution then has a religious nature and a materialistic worldview. Evolution is a kind of secular ideology and a substitute for Christianity. If it is a substitute for Christianity, and Christianity is a religion, then evolution as Christianity's substitute is religious. If the above evolutionary formulations do not suit you, you can always adopt the view of Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule, for which he received a Nobel Prize. Crick is a serious and well-respected scientist who thinks that life on earth may have begun when aliens from another planet sent a rocket ship containing spores to seed the earth. This is called the space cowboy theory. Of course, Crick doesn't explain how the aliens got there, or how they got here or why they left but, hey, this is science; and Christians have been called anti-intellectual for finding this view Biblically as well as scientifically unacceptable. Creation vs. Evolution is not a debate between religion and science. Rather, the debate is science vs. science.

The Bible in Proverbs 3:19-20 tells us that the universe was created through intelligent design. Therefore, the universe was created by an uncaused cause.
