Please note that theism is not Christianity. One can be a theist without being a Christian, thus "theistic evolutionist" is not a contradiction.

Name another god to whom a faith which worships him/her/it ascribes an "evolutionary" process based in the tenets of Darwinian evolution for the origins of life on this planet.

If it is within your ability to do so, you can also remind yourself that the context of this particular discussion is "theism" and "theistic evolution," being discussed as matter of Christianity, where in fact it is a matter of contradiction.

If, as a pan-theist, pagan, or possibly even an agnostic you find that the strictures of this present discussion bother you, or are simply unfamiliar to you, you are certainly welcome to start a thread on origins that involves "deities" which are not particularly germane to the discussion at hand, and see who joins in.
