What am I if I believe we were created to evolve through natural processes?
That is a great question RR;. Although you might not know if from this discussion, usually on EvC, creationist means a person who advocates a literal reading of the creation story which requires that all animals be created kinds, and in particular that humans not be evolved from lower animals.
I think at least some folks who are not acknowledging that we don't always refer to folks like you as creations are not being completely honest. But some people do call even folks who have a more Catholic view of creation creationists.

Re: Atheistic science?
. The world is full of subjective things, and we all live by something subjective(love/hate).
Subjective does not mean evaluating things without evidence or based on feelings. It means making decisions based on things that are not quantitative. Things like beauty and hate can be evidence-based even though they are subjective concepts. But believing something because you want to believe it or because you were taught is not subjective. Instead, it is a type of reasoning for which science has absolutely no use.

Re: EvC goes bonkers again
"The only way out of this is to deny the evidence provided in the works of God."
We've already seen this. Faith calls some of what appears to be evidence an illusion.

Re: Atheistic science?
"If it is undetectable, then it didn't happen."
I wonder what the meaning of such a statement is. Can you detect life on an exoplanet? Since you cannot, should we assume that no life exists on any of them?
