I am always astonished to discover that most "Christians" do not even know that when dozen evidence have been collected and found for the past couple thousand years, from inscriptions in Luxor to Thebes and in many ancient Indian palaces.
As for Darwin, the only reason why he said he did "believe" was simply to not get the same fate as Lavoisier, Copernicus or Galileo, the guy strongly believed in evolution, gave countless excellent examples (especially his larks).
Now the Dinosaurs thing: It's one of the funniest argument ever advances, all the radiometry and stratigraphy tests conclude unanimously that earth is far far older than 50 000 and so were the dinosaurs. Such arguments as Bilbo stated about "being carved in a palace's wall" are extremely funny, it's like if people in 2000 years would get their hands over a tape of Jurassic Park and conclude that we did live with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs skeletons have been found for a long long time now and it would be naive to imagine that people at the time didn't have a fascination for these bones just like we, modern, do today.
As for the argument of the "hidden agenda", except if you take for granted that all the modern scientists working on archeology and evolution are member of the same plot (for which reason, by the way?? I don't see any reasons why they would secretly and unanimously against a creative factors), that argument just doesn't make sense.
Well imo what makes these sacred texts and stories so fascinating is that the stories are virtually the same but in some instances the peoples that believed and taught these similar stories never had ANY contact. Look at creation stories, stories of great floods etc. Its the same in India as it was in North America, odd isn't it unless psychologically man just by chance explained things in a similar manner across different cultures (will post a vid proving this point later)

As for your "hidden agenda" deal...what about Global Warming? The scientists seem pretty keen on feigning that man caused that.
I suppose dramatic events have always been the same through history. Every so often you get great tsunami's, floods or great plagues. Natural disasters are one common theme which I am sure humans can relate to from way back. I would argue that this has no particular religious significance, though early man may have tried to justify it to himself as such. Whence religious scripture where we are told of such events. I don't really see what role god had to play in the tsunami of 2005. The same as I don't think he was involved in shocking events of yesteryear.

As for the hidden agenda with global warming. That was a small circulation of emails in the great scheme of credible scientific research. Global warming is for real and if you want to ignore the valid opinion of scientists in perhaps one of the most researched areas of recent years, then fair enough. But you've most likely been taken for a ride by corporations whose very future relies upon the continued destruction of the earth.
