That is exactly the point. YOU do not know any, but they are out there.

Why would people pray to Charles Darwin?
Accept Darwin and you shall find eternal life! Say this prayer now!
Our Darwin which art in nothing, hallowed be thy name, thy evolution came, creationism is lame, on Earth as well as the entire Universe, give us this day our daily knowledge and forgive us our failure as we forgive those who taught it to us, and lead us not into delusion but deliver us from false myths, for thine is the truthful, logical, and a rational theory. Amen.
Remember kids, it's not so much blind faith in G-D that makes a fundie, it's blind faith in whatever batshit insane dogma you're given.
Incidentally, everyone I've seen who deifies Charles Darwin is usually a fundie.
OK, why don't you and I take a trip to the Darwinist church. What? You can't seem to find it? How 'bout you take me to meet a couple of these Darwin worshippers? What? You can't actually find any? Name a few? What? You don't actually know their names? Yeah, I thought so.
I pray to Darwin and I'm a scientist.
I have test tubes and rods with lighting coming from them all over my secret lab,
Shhhh.... Don't tell anyone. I have so many fellow Darwin worshippers, you wouldn't believe! I'd give a few specific examples of famous people who worship Darwin, but there are somehow SO MANY that I can't even name one!
Oh, Accident Reconstruction Man, will your crazy rhetorical antics never cease to amuse yet amaze? Surely you of all people know that we proper scientists pray to the pantheon of Hubble, Rutherford, Einstein, Hawking...
I don't know any pink, tentacled aliens from Alpha Centauri...
"That is exactly the point. YOU do not know any, but they are out there."
Same thing, basically.
Well, if they happened to be Shintoists I guess they might. Course, the burden of proof is on you, but I'm not holding my breath for any results. I'm a little addicted to oxygen.
Blackness for the win!

YOU do not know of any.
Does Darwin set himself up as divine or unfailing?
Scientific leaders are not worshipped, they are admired or merely recognized, not the same thing remotely. Your very Christian Isaac Newton is admired for some of his scientific work despite his Christian apologism projects. No one worships him for his science but many Christians revere him to the point of worship for his apologism work.
You're the people who worship your human leaders, your televangalists and right-wing politicians and even entertainers as divinely inspired repesentitives of your God. Science has no such God.
Someone once said everyone worships something, that person was full of shit but the fundie world holds that as an absolute, it's preached from the pulpit and is their #1 argument against Atheism. It's ridiculous.
“[I don't know any scientist who prays to Charles Darwin.]”
But what do you ask St. Darwin to give you? Or do for you? What does the Darwinist pray for?
What the fuck would his invocational office actually be?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
