Based on DNA evidence, I am looking at a couple of dinosaurs now.

You live in Australia...all you have is dinosaurs!
Could you send me a wombat?...I've always wanted a wombat.

You see not knowing something isn not the problem, it is those that "do not know" but stubbornly say they "do know".
That was the point of the OP

A very good point. However, the OP assigned these characteristics to the wrong group. It's not the theists who do as much, it's the atheists!

There is an onus to address the original post, after all, and so far, the response has been most disappointing in terms of an informed debate.

Could it be that the subjects of the debate (God, man's origins) yield scant information to begin with? All anybody has is beliefs and hunches and reasons and logic. It's your contention that theists leave logic at the door. It's my contention that it's the other way around. In the end, we will be arguing till the cows come home with neither side able to offer anything resembling credible evidence; credible, at least, to the opposing party.

I don't see a problem with people needing a crutch of religion.

I fail to see how religion can be thought of as a crutch. I see it more as a crucifix. He's not leaning on the cross, the cross is leaning on Him. Carrying a cross is not a crutch, it is a burden...a burden that many are not willing to bear.
