When you were "studying" the history and philosophy of science and came to the secondary literature on the 17th-century roots of mechanistic scientism, you took a wrong turn.

Checkmate.

As I thought. No specific scientific objections to the theory of evolution.

Care to try again? I suggest you try science this time, not religious fundamentalism.

Or, be brave and admit where your arguments are really coming from.

Ooops! They didn't cover that in the science courses at your college, did they?

It's a pretty common syndrome among liberal secular humanists not to realize the cognitive distortions of "scientism" and the mechanistic model of reality. The fossil record yields no conclusions regarding a Creatio ex nihilo so science cannot resolve the fundamental issue empirically or in imaginative theoretical models.

Truthfully, I am not sure what you are disagreeing with in my jeering post. Quite a few of the most ardent Darwinists of the liberal secular humanist type are sexually maladjusted and suffer from a pathological resentment of Christianity and Christians. It comes out in their irrational and emotionalist tantrums to impose the ideology (which is after all a political matter rather than scientific one).
