There’s no denying that historically evolution has been harmful to religious faith.

Really? Just evolution? Okay, for the sake of the discussion, I'll give you this one.

It has contributed to undermining confidence in Scripture and to promoting a naturalistic view of man.

So has every pursuit of explanantions of our natural universe. Scientific explanations of seemingly miraculous events have always rocked they faithful as those events were used to convince the stupid of the "unknowable" in the first place. So what?

In our own age, such atheists as Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, and Carl Sagan

Are, or were, they all avowed athiests? Did they deny any possibility of a creator, even one unassociated with any earthly religion? Or is this just your biased view of their beliefs?

All this tripe in the first paragraph - why read further?

This is so vague as to be meaningless. What, specifically, has been discovered that "rocked the faithful"? Why were the founders of science Christians? Please, be specific and cite historical discoveries and their applied usage by people to convince "the stupid" of the unknowable. In closing, declaring something "tripe" is as vacuous as your statements are. It's a meaningless assertion of your own dislike for the author's comments, however if you insist on stopping there and not reading any further, you will remain an ignorant troll on this thread. Good day.
