Lady Eileen did not refer to God as "it". She quoted the Bible, the God of which is personal. Any God that could be called "it" couldn't be the Creator, so such inferior concepts of God aren't worth bringing up in the present discussion. They would be straw men, not gods.
For crying out loud, this is semantics. I was referring to Lady Eileen's comment that "Evolution with God is a contradiction in terms." It is clear that there are those who believe in a personal God who also accept evolution.
The lady also did not claim that all who believe in evolution are atheists.
She did a good enough job of suggesting it. "I do believe in recognizing it for what it is, which is naturalistic (i.e. God free).".

Not at all. Read it again. She said evolution is naturalistic. That doesn't mean that all who believe in evolution are naturalists. The only way that would be true is if everyone always believed in a logically consistent manner. Which of course we don't
Some people are taking the discussion in this thread too personally. Let's return the focus to evolution, not evolutionists.
