Rational Wiki - Theistic evolution #Atheist_positions
Atheist accommodationists argue that spending time attacking theistic evolutionists is badly spent; firstly, because they are not actively trying to stifle science education, and secondly, because they do not necessarily deny all scientific facts, as young earth creationists must. This, say the accommodationists, means that they can be powerful allies in the fight against creationists, and that encouraging theistic evolution in religious circles, possibly along with the controversial NOMA principle that religion and science can meaningfully coexist, would be better in the long run than discounting theistic evolution altogether.
New Atheists, who are much less persuaded by NOMA arguments, maintain that supernatural explanations are simply wrong in principle and that trying to find common ground with holders of magical beliefs is a compromise which helps nobody.

The "accommodationists" aka atheist wimps, think it's a good idea to suck up to morons who think supernatural magic is one of the mechanisms of evolution. That's ridiculous. There must be zero tolerance for bullshit in science.
I always tell these morons for Jeebus they can't stick Jeebus into science. That's not how the world works.
Why do Christian fucktards want to make magic a mechanism of evolution? It's because they don't want to admit their god fairy of the gaps has run out of hiding places.
I tell these Christians evolution requires zero magic. I also remind them the Magic Jeebus Man was a know-nothing creationist. I ask them why do you want to worship a dead moron?
If Christians were not so hard of thinking they would have thrown out their ridiculous cult a long time ago.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
