"dsc failed to substantiate his assertion that "many if not most atheists hold up evolution as evidence or proof of the nonexistence of God"."

Depends on what you call substantiation.

I consider myself a responsible, objective observer of human behavior, and that is my observation.

Or, one might say, "All experience hath shewn" that many if not most atheists do that.

Since you don't seem to have been watching over the past twenty years, why don't you start now? The data will soon pile up.

If you were to ask me whether I prefer to trust my lying eyes or some study by birkenstock-wearing, tofu-chomping, limp-wristed, one-worlder gun-fearing pansy-assed chicken chocking globalist metrosexual twinkie-addled Subaru driving Starbucks-sipping Dixie Chicks-admiring godless unpatriotic pierced-nose France-loving left-wing Communist latte-sucking holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie pervert college professors, well, that's an easy one to answer.

Depends on what you call substantiation.

So it depends on my definition of a word? I've heard that kind of justification before, but I cannot recall where.

I consider myself a responsible, objective observer of human behavior, and that is my observation.

But you offered no citations, not even to your own documented research. You are offering nothing more than your own interpretation of obsrevations without even providing details on the scope of your observations. That is known as "anecdotal" and I could just as easily point out that I have encountered few if any atheists who argue that evolution somehow disproves the existence of deities to counter your claim.

Or, one might say, "All experience hath shewn" that many if not most atheists do that.

If this is the case then you could surely at least point to online discussions where this has occured.

Since you don't seem to have been watching over the past twenty years, why don't you start now? The data will soon pile up.

Now you are telling me to do your research for you. I have never encountered anyone telling me to do this who was making a sustainable claim. Because of this, and based upon your own standard of evidence, I can safely conclude that no one who tells me to do my own research rather than substantiate their claims has a sustainable claim.

If you were to ask me whether I prefer to trust my lying eyes or some study by birkenstock-wearing, tofu-chomping, limp-wristed, one-worlder gun-fearing pansy-assed chicken chocking globalist metrosexual twinkie-addled Subaru driving Starbucks-sipping Dixie Chicks-admiring godless unpatriotic pierced-nose France-loving left-wing Communist latte-sucking holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie pervert college professors, well, that's an easy one to answer.

Nothing that you have offered amounts to evidence that any significant number of atheists have claimed that the theory of evolution disproves theism. If you are going to dance around the subject to this extent when pressed for evidence, to the point of conjuring some wild fantasy about the authors of some study that I never referenced after telling me to do your homework for you, why should I trust anything that you say?
