A life-long atheist now believes in a divine Creator and attacks
Darwinism

(Note: Two readers in so-far unposted comments have challenged me on
the following point: if, as I agree, natural selection leads to
changes within a species, why couldn't it lead to new species? I will
try to reply to them soon. Below, Alan Roebuck, giving some acute
advice on how to reply to the challengers, explains how it is that
Darwinists so easily extrapolate from small changes to big changes.)

absolutes - although most of the vocal atheists I've heard of in the
past decade or so do seem to advocate that position as well.

right... then we can also deduce from the premise that *humans* exist,
and have feelings, that it is good to be nice to them, and bad to be
cruel.
