Because the subject matter is not theistic evolution but the ruling body of neo-Darwinism/scientism which is presently in control of what the masses are allowed to know.
Mm, interesting. And who exactly is this ruling body? How do they excercise control? Particularly in a field where persons acheve noteriety (i.e. the Nobel Prize) by overturning dominant scientific thought?

Where we depart is you say that God would/could never create this way.
Are you sure NEd holds that belief? You would be mistaken if you thought that all evolutionists hold this belief. Evolution is not synonymous with atheism, you know.

Crashfrog says that atheism and evolution are not synonymous.
Yes they are it is not a matter of opinion. You are ignorant.
Actually I'm more knowledgeable than you, being both an atheist and an evolutionist (and an English major besides), I'm in a better position than you to know what those words mean.
Open a biology textbook and show me where it says "there is no god." Open Gould's "Structure of Evolutionary Theory", a definitive evolutionary work, and show me where it says "evolution is predicated on there being no God" or anything similar.
Show me where in the evolutionary scientific literature it says there's no god. Explain to me how evolution can be equivalent to atheism when some 20-30% of evolutionists are Christians. Explain to me how evolution must be considered opposed to religion when people of every faith hold evolution to be true.
The Catholic Pope is an evolutionist, did you know? In several papal messages he's said that evolution is the only rational explanation for the development of Man's physical body, and of life on earth.
Now, maybe you're not Catholic, but surely you don't think the Pope of all people is an atheist?
Don't confuse your ignorance with mine. You're the one who doesn't seem to know what words mean.
