How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

Big "If".
Nobody uses evolution to proclaim that there is no goD.
Nobody uses evolution to proclaim that there is no judgement.
Kinda coincidental that atheists prefer evolution two-to-one, isn't it?

It's as if evolution was tailor-made for those who don't believe in God.

They can prefer it all they want, doesn't mean it's true.

God is not disproven by evolution.

We don't "prefer" evolution. Just as we dont "prefer" gestation or growth.
Nothing "coincidental" about it.

And again, no.
Evolution is a process. It cannot be made. It can only happen.
And it happened long before there were people.

Evolution is not a preference. One either accepts the evidence for the ToE or disregards it in favor of personal belief.

There are many Christian schools, colleges and universities that will disagree with you. The ToE like all science is quiet on the supernatural for the simple reason that it is not subject to the scientific method.

and yet posters here have done both.
Where?
Given that doing so makes no sense... what possible logic is there to justify such an absurd action?
Evolution is a process. A purely biological process.
Even the theory that rests on the process, cannot logically be made to support the position that there is no god.
And judgement is a property of reasoning.

Calling people out isn't allowed but there have been a few people insisting no judgement and no God.

Saying "I'm an atheist." and "I think that evolution is true." does not in any way mean: "I'm an atheist because evolution is true."

There is always judgement. Not always sound judgement, but judgement.
That there is no God, is self evident. There may be a god or gods, but not an entity named "God".
None of these facts are related to genetic self replication. Nor to flaws in the replication process.
No rational person is able to make the claim you are attributing.

Interestingly, I was able to accept evolution while I was still a christian.

You ended up an atheist.

Just like Paul warned you in Romans 1.

I thought I explained it before. Since I don't believe in your god I don't find any claims of it's judgement against me to hold any value.

Many things.
Narrow it down a bit.

You ended up an atheist.
Yes. But this had nothing to do with my accepting evolution.
It has everything to do with my studying religion in a historical context

Just like Paul warned you in Romans 1.
Which he did not.

This might help.
Okay.

I watched the video.

It's full of polytheistic language.

And you admitted you were a Christian while studying evolution.

That was telling.

The fact that I never admitted any such thing... but rather, CONTINUED TO STATE IT FROM THE OUTSET... ought to be a clue.
