You seem to think there's some conflict between God and Darwinian
evolution. God would have a good laugh at that one, don't you think?

There's more than one?

That wasn't me.

Yup. I'm not a big believer in isms of any sort.

They are a kind of performance art, I think. Not very accessible, but if
you should happen to "get it" it can be uproariously funny.

You should separate out a few concepts that you seem to have collapsed.
These are all very different:
Secular humanism
Darwinian evolution
Richard Dawkins
Anti-religious diatribe

Just watch. It's my whole life.

I don't know if I can save you, and I'm not terribly attached to doing so.
But when seekers come to me, I give them all I've got.
You may well be happier living out your life safe and secure in the arms of
Jesus. That's fine with me, not that you care, but I had an intuition that
you were here for a reason.
> Which God is it you serve? I should like to know.
You keep asking this. Again, I'm only aware of one God. Your view of Him is
obscured by the cloud of religion. But He shines bright enough to burn
those clouds away if you persist.

It's not a question of being right or wrong. It's realizing that "beliefs"
are a creation of man, not God. They can be used to focus one's life to
serve Him or to derail us from God's purpose for us.
