On the contrary, Darwinism posits as its underlying axiom that God never intervenes in any way in the universe and that divine providence plays no role in nature or history.

This is simply not true, and I'm sure you've been told this before. The TOE, like any scientific theory, makes no claims about the supernatural. Your beef is with the scientific method, of which the theory of evolution is just one fruit.

Not to mention that the TOE says nothing at all about the origins of the universe, or solor system, or Earth, or indeed life. Scientists, in describing one class of observations, are honestly not trying to tell you that your religion is faulty.

"Scientists, in describing one class of observations, are honestly not trying to tell you that your religion is faulty."

Unfortunately, reality does not bear that out. While the ToE does not address origins, as we've been told, and science cannot in it's present state deal with the supernatural; a quick reading of some of these threads shows that many *scientists*, as opposed to science, do just that. There have many comments on *the ramblings of bronze age goat herders* and *If you want your kids to grow up to be idiots or janitors* and calling religion outright mythology. Since science does not deal with the supernatural, it always seemed to me that anyone who then tells me that it is not true or not real has overstepped the bounds of what they are qualified to speak on because they don't know that it's not real; they just can't measure it scientifically. There is reality that cannot be measured in the lab but is no less real. Emotions, art, music, social interctions, are all real and perhaps science can record some of the physical properties of some of these things, but it still misses what they are as a whole.
