What better way to INVENT the missing link to a flawed and failed THEORY that has become twisted fact in the minds of so many around the world. Don't have the facts...INVENT them and say "Oh yes, this is what it would have looked like!"

As a scientist with faith in Him may I please ask you to stop making an ass of yourself. Why is it that those who profess having the GIFT of faith are so terrified by the incremental attainment of knowledge (not necessarily wisdom) about the nature of the universe that He made...

You must really underestimate the Maker if you think he didn't put enough English on the cue ball to set all this in motion in one Big Bang. You belittle Him by implying that He must run just behind the bicycle and adjust it every 3 feet or else the universe will tip over, scratch its knees and cry.

The Maker I know is so incomprehensibly bright that He imbued this creation with an ability to adapt through mutation to a changing environment.

As a scientist with faith in Him

This is called a qualifier line. It is supposed to make me feel small by equating your professed faith as validation for a belief in evolution OR Creation evolution and thus discrediting me. The real humor comes with the fact that I never expressed my faith or position other than suggesting that it is to support the worlds viewpoint of evolution.

Then in your holiness with the fruits of the Spirit clearly showing you go on to say may I please ask you to stop making an ass of yourself.

which is so uplifting to me.

Here you go on to say:

You inject my position when I have not. Way to go.

I am not a practicing Deist as you seem to suggest you are. Is this so? After all, I do not want to put words in your mouth.

The Maker I know is so incomprehensibly bright that He imbued this creation with an ability to adapt through mutation to a changing environment.

And injecting my faith here for the first time, the Maker I know has made clear that His foolishness is wiser than all of man so when I see people who purport to speak with definitive absolutism on subjects that are still but unproven theory as though they were fact...I may be a little bit hesitant to accept them carte blanche as you are asking me, or should I say, demanding me, to do.

"English on the cue ball" is a nice descriptor. I've used the term "spin" but your description is better. God as Minnesota Fats. Now I'll think of Jackie Gleason every time I think of the Creation. ;^)

LOL! That's an eloquent summary of why evolution never played a part in my becoming an atheist.
