Not much “outreach” in the article in the Christianpost, just NOMA in other terms.

“I can’t find anything that says that Darwinism is against an intelligently designed universe or God”

You're going to keep repeating that despite how Darwinists define and explain Darwinism?

But I can understand that an intelligently designed universe might not conflict with Darwinism understood as an allegorical myth devised to explain what cannot explained except as a historical narrative, “an imaginary scenario”.

“You’re going to keep repeating that despite how Darwinists define and explain Darwinism?”

—Sure there are atheists that describe Darwinism in atheistic terms - but you can find atheists that do the same with all scientific theories; heliocentricity, atomic theory, gravity, germ theory, etc. There’s no reason to single out Darwinism; if you’re going to use that argument you may as well say that all of science is incompatible with God.

“But I can understand that an intelligently designed universe might not conflict with Darwinism understood as an allegorical myth devised to explain what cannot explained except as a historical narrative, “an imaginary scenario”.”

—Which part of Darwinism would need to be allegory to not conflict with intelligent design? The chemistry involved in mutations? Does chemistry need to be allegory? Or does the commonly seen differential survival rates of members of a population need to be allegory, something that even most Creationists don’t dispute is factual? You mention historical narrative; perhaps Gnathostomata evolving from Agnatha during the Silurian somehow disproves an intelligently created universe with purpose?
