"an attempt to "murder" God... then you must have a low opinion of God"

Actually it is an attempt to ignore God rather than "murder" him.

I would also argue that an examination of the evidence,(creation or nature or whatever you want to call it), implies a cause. The cause must be sufficient to produce the effect. An omnipotent God is a sufficient cause. Darwinian evolution (DE) isn't. At lease it could be said that at the the stage of understanding that we have of biology we don't know if DE is a sufficient cause.

What caused circumstances to exist that would permit the existence of an omnipotent God?

I invite you to point to an electrical engineering text that doesn't "ignore God." How many say that electricty comes from god pushing on electrons? That lightning is a miracle?

We have found that we do not have to invoke the supernatural to gain a functional understanding of many aspects of the world. Biology is another one of those aspects.
