In short the bible. Muslims a little too but thats different.

You're absolutely right. Accepting that environmental pressures can have an effect on the distribution of genes in gene pools and lead to accumulative changes over time is clearly absurd. A supernatural entity for which there is no sufficient evidence needs to be invoked to explain life's variety in a rational manner.
Due to this incredible piece of wisdom, a strong case can now be made to replace biology textbooks with bibles.
