editor-surveyor: "The ignorance is deliberate, and all yours mine, because I have no clue what you just posted."

FRiend, I know what you intended to say -- you're in way over your head, have no clue what you're talking about, and are imagining points of disagreement where they don't exist.

editor-surveyor: "Creation is not a 'natural process.' "

Of course not, but natural-science only has one method of dealing with nature, and that's "natural explanations for natural processes".
If we don't like those explanations, we don't have to agree, but natural-science is never going to say, "God did it", regardless of how strongly we disagree.

editor-surveyor: "The age of enlightenment will be when you and the rest of the unbelievers stand in awe of the first resurrection, knowing that the ten days of the wrath of Yehova are about to be poured out on the world."

The Age of Enlightenment (aka Age of Reason) was a historical period, roughly 1650 to 1800 -- Bacon, Locke, Newton, Kant, Hume, Rouseau, Voltaire, etc. -- whose crowning glory was our Founders' Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
Of course, you may not like our Enlightenment Founders, or their Constitution, but that would be your problem, since most posters on Free Republic think rather highly of them.

editor-surveyor: "Trying to manipulate the word of God to create room for natural processes to replace acts of special creation is not an industry of promise."

Any Believer can believe whatever he/she thinks the Bible says, nothing wrong with that, provided you don't claim such beliefs are somehow "scientific", because they're not.
That said, the fact is the Bible's descriptions of God's Creative Actions are quite general enough to fit many natural-science processes into them.

I especially like that it says man was created "from the dust of the ground" -- lots of room for evolution there!
