Would diminished sense of smell indicate evolution has taken place? How about baldness in men or facial hair for women?

Creationism and evolution are not at odds.

You do realize that terms like "Sky Daddy" would only have negative connotation for those who don't believe in a literal god in the heavens, right? And for every other believer, it's just a complete straw man. But, I guess, atheists need to vent their spleen any little way they can manage. All that anger at a purportedly mythical god. 9_9
And while I think evidence of abigenesis is a possibility to falsify mu belief, very few atheists seem to admit any evidence that would falsify their own belief in abiogenesis.

I don't care if it's an insult or not. It's an accurate depiction of how many theists use God as a psychological crutch for dealing with insecurity and loneliness. As a result, they often don't grow up and learn to be insightful and adaptable human beings.

Really? Even though studies have shown religious believers report higher happiness, lower rates of depression, and longer lifespans? That sounds like pretty good adaptability to me. What's not good adaptation is depression self-medicated with drugs, alcohol, and unsafe lifestyle choices. You know, over insecurities with something as basic as one's own identity. It takes a good deal of personal insight to develop better coping mechanisms.
