"A Christian evolution would be one where God created life and set it on a specified path to unfold eventually into man."

And why does this refute evolution?

As to linking Darwinism to atheism, I must confess I am totally ignorant of Darwin's religious views. As a biologist and a Christian I have no problem reconciling both.

"Darwinism denies divine design in all shape and form and posits instead its own 'creator', the non-heavenly 'natural selection' which supposedly creates by killing."

I think you in error about Darwinism and evolutionary theory here. The late Victorians and early twentieth century racists envisoned evolution as a tooth and fang competition physical confrontation and its not really that at all. Evolution proceeds on the basis of the species best able to survive in a changing environment, take advantage of existing ecological niches and replicate itself more successfully than other species competing for the same niche ( shelter, food, nutrients, etc.)

And why does this refute evolution?

I did not say it refuted evolution. I said that that is how some sort of evolution would be compatible with Christian principles. Darwinian evolution is completely atheistic and it is proven by its major promoters - Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, Dawkins, Eldredge and Gould - all of them atheists.
