" Semantics"
Sorry you don't like words with precise meanings. Evolution is not atheistic.
" Tell it to one of the most out-spoken mouthpeices for scientists, Dawkins. His definition of evolution IS atheistic."
To the extent that Dawkins says that evolution requires atheism, he is wrong.
"Of course, his definition of evolution is in reality, evolutionISM because it embraces a materialistic (naturalistic) doctrine of origins."
ALL science works only with naturalistic causes and testable, observable claims. Evolution is no different than every other theory in science.
" How about yours?"
I already told you.

"I already told you." The subject I asked you about is "the origin of matter", and I don't think you "told me" yet. If I'm mistaken, please tell me again, just to clarify. Because from some of the things you write, you gave me the impression that you hold to a naturalistic (materialistic) view of origins, is that right?

Dawkins doesn't even say that. Matchett-PI is misrepresenting Dawkins, and Dawkins's definition of evolution does not imply, require, or include atheism.
