Religion
===========
Religion isn't going anywhere. Science is. Over time, science will either prove religion to be accurate or otherwise. Ipso Facto, the answers to the questions such as the origin of mankind can be suggested by either side today, but will only ever be PROVEN by science.
Evolution.
============
Who cares? Even if the evolution theory is correct, you'll be long dead before anyone can show you evolution in motion. It's a process which takes millions of years. Tens of thousands of your life spans. Science can offer no more accurate answer, and religion's alternate is there if you want it. Take one or the other and shut up.
Miracles
============
Any fool who's done statistics in maths can tell you that very few things are impossible, improbable perhaps, but not beyond the realms of possibility. Someone gets 2millions volts thrown through his body, falls down a cliff, only to be knocked down by a car, found rolling down a hill, over an edge into rocky, shark infested waters, and is then washed up three days later - alive. This isn't a miracle, it's just being magnificently lucky, since for each of those accidents, there is a chance of survival, so surely basic maths dictates that there is a chance that you can survive them all in succession. If anything that wasn't likely instantly became impossible, imagine what a foolish endeavor playing the national lottery would be - you know you can never win, but you play anyway. How stupid?
That's all for now, I shall continue my lessons in "common sense from given knowns to combat hysteria" later.
People arguing science is correct - you are wrong, since much of what science dictates is conjecture, hypothesis, and not proven.
People arguing that religion is correct - you are wrong, since much of what religion dictates i open to interpretation to offer answers to anything, offers little actual fact, on the basis you accept it's "truths" on faith, and were for the most part written up in an age where the only thing divine was the degree of human ignorance.
Have a nice day.

A disease? What? You can get creams for it?
As far as I can see: Alcoholism is a mental illness that is created by a need for comfort. Show me anyone that has a perfect life and then turns to alcoholism, calling it a disease is bizarre.

Peerrsonally, in a way, I just feel religion is no better than being an alcoholic. Sure, you're very welcome to your beliefs, and if you're right, fantastic, but it does seem just like a comfort to live to.
If we spent more time looking for fun, instead of looking for comfort, we'd have fantastic lives.
And that is not a 'religious people don't know how to have fun' comment. :0) I'm just saying we worry about all the wrong things, and by the time we work that out, it'll probably be too late.
