Which has nothing to do with evolution.

On the contrary, it's a critical component of the driving force behind evolution, to wit, to try to explain the universe absent a Primary Mover.

The other comment wasn't intended as an ad hominem, though I can see how it could be interpreted as such. It was merely an observation.

Nothing I am writing is out of malice. Consider the following: you're in your doctor's office recieving the results of a test against a large hilar mass in your left lung. As a smoker for 40 years, you fear the worst.

The doctor comes in with a grave countenance. "It's a small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. These tumors are non- resectable. Here are your options."

"What's the prognosis?" "Without treatment, four months, tops." This is a very serious moment in your life; the doctor does not divulge that this particular cancer has one of the shortest and most aggressive clinical course of all cancers.

Evolution is an aggresive carcinoma that will claim the souls of any who apply it consistently. Smugly confident in their "evidence" (again, interpreted in such a way as to support the a prioiri theory), they choose a lie over the truth in the Word of God.

You will say to me, "Evolution says nothing about God." There are those who try to combine the two, it is true. But in its purest form, evolution is the foundation of atheism, and the latter will consume your soul.

This is an extreme overstatement of the scope of the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution covers only diversification of life from common ancestry. It does not explain anything within the universe beyond this. This means that evolution does not cover the origin of the first life forms, or the origin of planets, stares, solar systems or matter itself.

You will say to me, "Evolution says nothing about God." There are those who try to combine the two, it is true. But in its purest form, evolution is the foundation of atheism, and the latter will consume your soul.

This is also untrue. The theory of evolution has no implications regarding the existence of deities. Moreover, atheists existed well before Darwin published his theory.

Nope. The origin of the universe has absolutely nothing to do with evolution.

" Evolution is an aggresive carcinoma that will claim the souls of any who apply it consistently."

Creationism is a cancer on conservatism.

"Smugly confident in their "evidence" (again, interpreted in such a way as to support the a prioiri theory)"

Nope, the theory is a not a priori.

" they choose a lie over the truth in the Word of God."

That would be YEC, who ignore the physical creation and instead worship a book.

"You will say to me, "Evolution says nothing about God." There are those who try to combine the two, it is true. But in its purest form, evolution is the foundation of atheism, and the latter will consume your soul."

Nope. Evolution, like EVERY theory in science, has nothing to say pro or con about the existence of a God. If you are going to attack evolution for not mentioning God, you have to attack ALL of science.

I have failed to detect even the smallest scientific objection to evolution from you. If you have one, please enlighten us. So far, it's been entirely an argument from the alleged consequences.
