[Non-Sequitur]

Yep, Copernicus, Newton, Boyle, Faraday, Maxwell, Bacon (founder of the scientific method), who all believed in creation,

I suppose that it's pointless to mention that with one exception they all pre-dated Darwin and his theories?

And yes, you’re right, evolutionists aren’t all atheists,

So were you mistaken in your earlier post when you lumped the two together? Or were you...exaggerating?

but “evolution is the engine of atheism” is a truism.

Because you say so? Well thanks for clearing that up for us.

Darwin himself wasn’t an atheist, since he did refer to “his deity, Natural Selection”.

Quote please?

Yes, it IS pointless and a non-sequiter to mention that all the founders of modern science predated Darwin. Their scientific development was based on a foundation of Creation with empirically discoverable laws.

(no, not because I say so, because atheists say so, and don’t split my quote to try to refute part of it)
