"The problem were running into is ToE, assumes a random origin. However, evolution is not one theory, but a set. Many of which simply stick to what can be observed, and deductive reasoning. Others assume random origins of life, and according to Webster (def 4), is pretty easily argued as religion."
1) Evolution has nothing to do with the origins of life, never has.
2) Abiogenesis, which is the scientific study of the origins of life, not evolution, is not about *random origins*.
3) Def. 4 from your Webster's link says,
"4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith."
That is neither evolution or abiogenesis, which rely on physical evidence. Creationism and ID on the other hand ARE held with ardor and faith.
"I have no problem with religion, I have a problem with the 1st amendment and public funds used to enforce the religions of Atheism and Materialism over Christianity and Judaism."
Then you have no problem with evolution which has nothing to say about the existence or nonexistence of a deity.

Listening to the crickets chirping while waiting for the link between evolution and dialectic materialism and communism Placemarker.

I have no problem with evolution, and it presents no conflict with my faith.
