As to the rest of your post, I'm glad to see you are open to God being the 'uncaused cause' for life.

No its a matter of prediction from the ToE.

I am not just "open", I KNOW it. How could anyone be a Christian, especially a Christian Minister without believing in God as Creator? Our whole country is founded on that premise.
What I don't like is your side promoting a bunch of superstitious nonsense that drives people away from Christ, instead of allowing them to accept the Gospel and reach salvation. Can't you see this?
