"One can believe in Darwin's God and be a faithful Christian. Read "Finding Darwin's God" by Ken Miller for enlightenment. "

I don't agree but am making some assumptions by what you mean by Darwin's God. I believe genetics are real and organisms can be manipulated genetically by outside forces.

I do not believe the radical liberal scientists that control 90% of our universities. They find a couple of bones and extrapolate that into a full fledged model of the entire village. I do not believe life on this planet evolved from proteins created by lightning in raindrops or pond scum.

To believe life as we know it evolved from basic amino acids would take much more faith than to believe in a higher power that has touched my life.

The science points to a Big Bang which is compatible with God starting the process of evolution. Evolution is not a scary concept to believers if analyzed objectively without an agenda to disprove God. In fact, as explained in the good professor's book, "Finding Darwin's God", this science supports the concept of free will, disproves God as a charlatan or magician, provides for a divine spark to the beginning of the world, and gives an explanation of the Genesis' accounting of creation over time, if we accept that God's concept of time is quite different from ours. Also, miracles can be defined as God's intervention outside the natural laws created by Him.
