Excuse me, but this is absolutely incorrect. Per the OED:
Battle
NOUN
1.1 A lengthy and difficult conflict or struggle.
'the battle against ageing'
For educators, science advocates and promoters of reason-based public policy, the creation-evolution controversy has been and continues to be a lengthy and difficult struggle with more than its share of conflict, since even before On the Origin of Species was published in 1859.
If you aren't a science teacher or researcher depending on publicly-funded grants, you may not be a front-line combatant of this ongoing battle. If you aren't particularly interested in certain lines of public discourse, you might not even be aware of this. Still, as we might accurately point out to a creationist, ignorance does not constrain reality.
who the fuck cares what some kid who does not know shit think
Ironically, that statement is very similar to my first reaction when I read your comment. Cheers!
Edit: softened my response a bit

Creation–evolution controversy
The creation–evolution controversy (also termed the creation vs. evolution debate or the origins debate) involves an ongoing, recurring cultural, political, and theological dispute about the origins of the Earth, of humanity, and of other life. Within the Christian world creationism was once widely believed to be true, but since the mid-19th century evolution by natural selection has been established as an empirical scientific fact. Efforts to sustain the traditional view are almost universally regarded in the scientific community as pseudoscience.
