So would you be a “Darwinist” as well - if you accept that life can (and does) evolve?

Is it possible to accept evolution and NOT be a “Darwinist”?

Is it possible to accept evolution through natural selection of genetic variation and NOT be a “Darwinist”?

Are all “Darwinists”, by your definition, also atheists?

You sure seem to think so based upon your previous posts.

Absolutely!

Genesis 1 and 2 are very clear that the Creation is ever-created and sustained by the Logos of God, Alpha to Omega. That is to say, the Creation was made to evolve in space and time, from its Beginning (origin) to its End (final consummation).

That is to say: I don't need to be a Darwinist to grasp the idea of "evolution."

To your question — "Are all 'Darwinists', by your definition, also atheists?" — my answer would be: Not necessarily. However, hard-core materialists can probably be reliably placed in that category. Cf.: Dawkins, Lewontin, Pinker, Singer, Monod, et al. (Not to mention their "fan clubs.")
