I'll be simple and straightforward.
The Darwinian theory of evolution helped to explain what was not explainable. For some, it eliminated the idea of a 'supreme creator'
In some respects it challened many different religious viewpoints and contradicted biblical teachings. The church has always fought that which cast any doubt upon it. Copernicus, Da Vinci and the like.
Even simpler:
Religious : God created MAN, and from MAN he created WOMAN.
Darwin: MAN evolved.
Got me?
