Ideas can become addictive, an intellectual drug, the addict being wedded to a certain "truth" or viewpoint that when taken away creates a negative reaction.,

Creationism is such a drug. Evolution is an antidote because it tears down the wall of addiction and forces inquiry and rational thinking to replace dogma. Evolution is not a religion, a cause celebre, a political football, it is scientific fact embraced by those who really know science. Knowledge for it is evolving itself. It is not an absolute but a method for understanding scientific biological principles.

It has been falsely accused of stringent religious principles by those who can't conceive of any other way of looking at ideas. Evolution evolves by physical observation whereas religious tenets about it evolve through speculation which often turns to addictive dependency.
