What? Aruanan said that evolution was first and foremost an attempt to escape a creator.

That's right but aruanan's statement doesn't preclude the existence of theistic evolutionists. I would agree with you if I thought that's what aruanan was saying.

This is how I read the post:

The main purpose today and when Darwin proposed his theory was to provide a means of escaping the idea of a creator.
Right or wrong the post does not preclude theistic evolutionists. As I see it that's a completely different issue. Now, I'm not familar with aruanan or his worldview and maybe he meant what you think he said. Perhaps aruanan will explicate...

Argh. Post and preview buttons can be too close together when a two-year-old is vying for my attention.

I wanted to expand on something...

If in proposing their theories Darwin, Gould and others were providing a means of excaping a creator, that doesn't mean everyone who buys the theory of evolution holds to the same worldview.
