"Evolution is a scientific theory and does not address God in any way shape or form."

Perhaps, but if evolution's only practical effect it to explain where we came from... And to many, that explanation doesn't fit the data as well as a Creator.

One really has to question, is exclusion of God a form of negatively addressing God.

As I stated above, evolution does not address a creator.

I don't address God when I am designing a new Hydrogen Maser (except possibly praying it will work as designed! LOL!). Is that then being negative?

False premise, from which it is impossible to derive anything.

A recent practical application was the discovery of Tiktaalik: the ToE was used to predict what an intermediate between fish and amphibians would look like, when it lived, and what sort of habitat it lived in. When strata formed in that era and habitat were examined, a fossil was found that looked like the predicted one.

This is merely one example out of thousands.

It will not be possible to take ID or creationism seriously until they can duplicate these feats and do a better job of it. So far, nothing.
