The problem is that the committed Darwinists who so despise ID are trying to insist that evolution "proves" that there is no God.

I don't recall anyone here at FR attempting to show that evolution proves there is no God; I've seen the defenders of the idea of Darwinian evolution, whether they label themselves believers, atheists, and those that I have not seen declare their faith, say that the fact of evolution, and the TOE itself, can tell us nothing about the existence of God. You may, in fact be in agreement with Darwin himself (at least at some level):

Darwin was not an atheist, but a deist; that is he believed that some creating intelligence had designed the universe and set up natural laws according to which all of nature was unwaveringly governed.

Nor did I. But there are clearly people who feel that way in the world and many of them are prominently involved in the debate in the "real world" over this issue. It is they I was speaking of.

As to my personal beliefs, I've always felt that the proposed progression of classic evolution matches quite well with the sequence of creation in Genesis.
