I didn't know whether to comment on this or not, but Renaisauce almost captured what I was thinking.

I don't know whether the comments are trolling, but clearly the commenters don't know the difference between fundamentalism and and mainstream Christianity, which seems quite willing to accept Darwin's analysis.

Creationism, or its near-twin Intelligent Design (link goes to my review of Only a Theory by Kenneth R. Miller), emerge from fundamentalist beliefs of many denominations, though the fundamentalist Christians are most prominent in the fight.

P.S.: I think 'Sauce meant "spirituality" rather than "spiritualism."
