I mean that it shuts down discussion, on whether evolution and your conception of religion are opposed. It grates on me mentally like the argument that God laid down the fossils. Maybe it's its effective denial of Occam's razor- you: 'I don't think evolution and religion conflict- after all, God created evolution, so how could they conflict?' me: 'But evolution had to happen, in the same way that 1+1 has to add to 2, so it is simpler to only accept evolution and not God.' you: 'So? That's just my belief, unfalsifiable as it is.'
