“[Macro] Evolution does not prove there is no god, i.e. a creator of the universe.”
True, but there are many who hold that it does.
“If macro-evolution has occurred, however, it is contrary to the ridiculous fairy-tale myths of creation of the universe in the Bible”
What would you think if an ordinary, average third-grader began to denigrate special relativity on the grounds that he found it counter-intuitive? And did so, moreover, in a very unpleasant and scornful way?
Your statement demonstrates that your understanding of Christian theology is on a par with an ordinary, average third-grader’s understanding of special relativity. I’m sorry for the harshness of that statement. I make it not to denigrate, but to try and get my point across.
“Macro-evolution is therefore contradictory of the Bible, and Christianity in particular.”
Macro-evolution is contradictory of a child’s understanding of the Bible and Christianity. It conflicts in no way with theology at a level of sophistication suitable for adults...which I would venture to guess you have never encountered.
“However, macro-evolution certainly is not dependant upon the existence of a supernatural creator of the universe.”
Dependence is completely irrelevant. You have said nothing useful or pertinent there.
“To say that macro-evolution is itself a religion is not logical.”
That’s a bad sign. Did you really miss the difference between saying that macro-evolution is itself a religion and saying that the dogma that evolution disproves the existence of God is a religious proposition? Two very different matters.

in this latest post, you have finally resorted to the last line of defense I typically get from the Christian apologist, after all else fails. You threw out the old “you have a child’s view of religion, you don’t understand theology like I do” horse manure. It’s at this point, I always point out that I was raised as a Christian, confirmed as one after taking classes, attended and then taught Sunday school, attended and taught at church camp, studied comparative religion and philosophy of religion in college, read hundreds of books over several decades on religion and theology by Lewis, Russell, Kant, Kierkegaard, Spinoza, James, Freud, Hume, etc.etc. But alas, despite all that, you, oh wise one, diagnosed my disbelief as a result of a “child’s understanding of religion” based on what obviously is the result of my not truly having really read and understood the Bible as only you can. This pleases me, as I prefer your argument, nonsensical as it is, to the other “final resort” argument (that I must have an unhappy life to be such a “God hater” and tool of the Devil himself). I think it’s a good time for me to go to bed and put a cap on this particular thread. I wish you well, and hope all your religious fantasies come true.
