CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

a light mood is not trolling, calling someone a racist is.
Darwin isn't the final authority on what those who support evolution agree with.
My contention was not that evolution is without the hand of God, my contention was that anything that implies the hand of God is rejected by those with faith in evolution.

We are not discussing the personal beliefs of every evolutionist. What we are discussing is what evolution is and what it isn't. If Darwin, who discovered evolution, thought that evolution took place with the hand of God, then you can't claim that evolution denies the hand of God. You can claim that some evolutionists believe that, but not that evolution says that.
Do you see the difference? Evolution itself is neutral on the issue of God. Evolutionists as people run the spectrum of worldviews concerning God. There are evolutionists who are theists, evolutionists who are agnostic, and evolutionists who are atheists. For the theists and atheists, their theism or atheism comes from someplace else other than evolution. So, if you want to say that atheism is wrong, fine. Do so. But you don't say that atheism is wrong because evolution is atheistic. That's fighting the wrong battle in the wrong place. It's a battle that theism can only lose, because now you aren't fighting atheism but evolution.
Instead, if you want to fight the atheist who says that evolution is atheism, you do it by showing that evolution is not atheism. IOW, you do it by correctly using science.
Please try again. I can't understand what your contention is.
