What are you claiming are "sweeping generalization(s)"?

"Biology took away our status as paragons created in the image of God."

and from that the conclusion that:

"The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity."

Christians are not murderers
Catholics are not lawbreakers
Evolution is not anti-religion

starting to see the light?

Indeed. What I don't understand is your willingness to accept the inverse in the case of evolution, when it is no less illogical to do so.

A single instance of someone using the TToE as a "weapon against religion" does not justify characterizing it as being "first and foremost" for that purpose.

How is that a gross generalization? Looks pretty specific to me.

You are twisting and distorting again. That statement has no direct connection to the first statement - it happens nine paragraphs after the first statement. NOTE: I am in no way trying to support the statement "The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory"

Indeed. What I don't understand is your willingness to accept the inverse in the case of evolution, when it is no less illogical to do so.

I have done no such thing - you do know if you present a claim with zero supporting evidence, it is considered an empty accusation?

True, but I never mentioned anything about "first and foremost" - what are you talking about?
