Evolution and design can co-exist. Read anything by Arthur Peacocke or John Polkinghorne. Ian Barbour gives a good overview of science and religion. This is a non-debate except for the likes of Dawkins, Dennett and Wilson. These atheist scientists tend to make broad metaphysical statements, based on their methodological approach. Reductionism as a methodology to understand something does not support a metaphysics of reductionism.

Why would any of these authors you mentioned, be any more authoritative than the Bible is on Creation, which is design without any evolution?
