Atthe risk of sounding totally shallow and missing the finer points of the debate, it seems to me that if you can find a single Christian/Muslim or whatever who believes in a higher being AND accepts the theory of evolution then you have falsified the statement that evolutionists are atheists.
OK, count me as one. I'm a practising Christian, I have no problem with evolution and I'm a molecular biologist. I'm sick to the back teeth of being informed that because I accept evolution I can't be a proper Christian, whatever that is. Why is it that most branches of science can be embraced by Christians without aspertions being cast on their faith, but evolutionary sciences can't?
Until we can get the message across that science only tries to answer questions about the natural world with no consideration of supernatural input, we're spitting in the wind. If science is out to disprove God, as many YECs claim, why are there so many Christians in science? If paleontologists are so intent on proving that God doesn't exist, why do many of them go to Church? If many molecular biologists are working every day with changes in genetic material and mutations and actually observing mutation and natural selection in action (I'm one of them) why would they still believe in God? Maybe its because they can see that a belief in evolution doesn't require God being removed from the equation.
