. What do you think we'll have left by the time we're done with this little exercise in calling everything a strawman?

The entire evolution argument is a strawman for atheism. There is no fact involved. It is speculation, and assumption. Your arguments about gravity and astronomy, physics and mathematics, all assume things that can be proven true. That some theists are able to accept ID, is aquiescence to "junk Science", IMHO.

Geology studies rocks and the earth constructions, but doesn't have a clue where they came from. They speculate, but that's just another name for GUESS. To believe that some inorganic "something", somewhere, found a specific opportunity to become organic, to adapt to conditions, and then metamorphize billions of times in only billions of years? Plus, all that brings us to the present state we live?

That is your ultimate argument, if you construct evolution backwards, and is as absurd as it sounds. Nothing became something. Inorganic became organic. Organic single celled became multi-celled complex. Man is just an accident, requiring zillions of permutations (where did I put those things, dammit?) and really has no meaning. Ergo, there is no need for morals nor objectivity. Depravity doesn't exist, it is just evolutionary process.

"In the beginning, God..." makes a whole lot more sense to me. But, if you're angry at God, think you know something more than most of us, or just want to disprove His Being, I'd like to see some proof, not the foolish liturgy of the evolutionary philosophers... I can call my dog "science". That doesn't make his farts smell any better...

I won't wait up.

Then where does your Bible tell us would be a good place for long term storage of nuclear waste?

Did you mean that evolution is a “Trojan horse” for atheism? A straw-man for atheism? Does that even make sense? Lets see.....

straw-man: A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.

So atheists put forth a misrepresentation of evolution? Those that say it rejects/denies God certainly do. Is that what you meant? Somehow I don't think so.

You can call your religion "science", too. That doesn't mean it is.
