Back on 17 April, you wrote:

"So, from this evidence I can see where I was clearly mistaken as to
Darwin's intent. He did not initially set out to discredit either
Paley or God."

Having been shown to have come out with utter  rubbish about the
effect of Paley on Darwin, you now turn to further rubbish to try to
hold on to your belief that Darwin was driven by some desire to get
rid of God.

I'm still waiting for you to explain how come I and other religious
believers have no problem accepting the Theory of Evolution and the
role of Natural Selection.
