Do creationists and ID proponents accept evolution as fact? Depends on the definition of creationist. ID proponents do think evolution (especially micro-evolution) is a fact, but don't think it (natural selection driven by random accidental mutations) is sufficient alone to explain all the complex developments of life. Michael Behe is a professor of biochemistry who thinks so. He is generally called a creationist by folks like you though he believes in common descent and change over time. “In my soul I feel just that terrible pain of loss,” she wrote in 1959, “of God not wanting me — of God not being God — of God not existing.” According to the book, this inner turmoil, known by only a handful of her closest colleagues, lasted until her death in 1997. Uh huh. You ar offbased trying to use selective quotations to claim she was a fellow atheist. She also wrote of her experiencing a vision of the Christ at an earlier stage of her life. Her depression was caused by that spiritual high not continuiing. re:"I can guarantee you that all those people believe God created the universe and that we are not here by accident." How can you guarantee that? Because I know those kinds of people well. Is evolution an accident? According to Darwinian scientists it is. Many believe that God created man via evolution.... Yes, and the view that evolution was divinely driven (or designed) are routinely called creationists. The issue is teleology - the belief that nature is designed and purposeful - vs naturalism - the belief that nature has no design or purpose.
