Evolutionary theory in its purest form begins with the [faith] assumption that there is no God. Theism and evolution are incompatible - theistic evolution is full of contradiction and should be discarded outright.

Wrong. Evolutionary theory has nothing to say about God.

incorrect.

It might be correct for you to assert that the purest version of your misconception of the theory requires the assumption of no God, but the actual theory itself has no such requirement.

Theism and evolution are incompatible - theistic evolution is full of contradiction and should be discarded outright.

again: incorrect.

It might be correct for you to assert that your understanding of "theistic evolution" is incompatable with your interpretation of the tenets of the creed to which you subscribe, but this does not render evolution and divinity fundamentally contradictory.

It would help if you and all your ilk would make even the least effort to learn what the theory of evolution contains, and what the terms used actually mean.

If you did so, you would save yourselves a great deal of public embarrassment, spare political conservatism some of the Luddite tarnish it has acquired... and save us in the science wing a great deal of time now spent in endless serial corrections of your grotesque misrepresentations.
