The theory of evolution has absolutely no place for God, you are holding to a really bastardized version of nothingness, it’s the biggest cop out of all. The true evolutionist has no room for anything like “theistic evolution”, the very term itself implies ignorance of either argument.

Your argument and accusation of 'ignorance' contradicts both sides of this issue, including leading scientists who believe in theistic evolution such as Francis Collins (head of the Human Genome project) as well as Christian leaders and apologists such as Pope John Paul II and CS Lewis- both of whom viewed evolution as the path God used for creation. Of course, for all I know, your opinion is based on the fact that you are theologically versed more than the Pope and CS Lewis, and you are more scientifically versed than Dr. Collins. If, however, you are not, then maybe you should check where the 'ignorance' is coming from and stop trying to make God in your image. We in the church have done that far too often and the arrogance of many a layperson claiming to understand the mechanisms that God uses in the universe is no less arrogant than the atheist claiming to understand the power of God's spirit on our hearts.
