I have no problem with the idea that God created the universe and evolution is part of that plan. What I have a problem with is shoddy or just plain bad science that tries to use evolution to somehow prove there is no God.

Good afternoon.

just plain bad science that tries to use evolution to somehow prove there is no God.

That is the definition of a "fools errand."

Yep. The whole point of science is that new evidence introduces refined understandings. That is a strength, not a weakness.

The problem with ‘evolution’ is that it was a 19th century literary idea that was able to impregnate itself into the intuitions of many materialists and anti-creationists.

After The Origin of Species was published, there was a massive torrent of darwinic writing that was able to sweep away the fragile edifices of the worldviews of many technically minded people, but at its core, there was no proof to the fable of evolution, only a slippery slope of faulty logic.

The narrative of evolution is larger and stronger than the discredited fiction of anthropogenic global warming, but its logical substructure is no less flawed.

"I have no problem with the idea that God created the universe and evolution is part of that plan. "

By definition, "God" and "plan" are incompatible with evolution.
