If you feel that you are being overwhelmed, then take longer to create and post replies. Take the time to check what you are using as support for your claims or beliefs; unknowingly grabbing out-of-context quotes that turn out to work against you simply reinforces the assumption that you are just tossing darts at the wall blindly, hoping that a few of them find the mark.
Maybe you are overwhelmed by dealing with so many responses from people, and maybe it's a convenient way to cover for the weakness of your position. Why not pray to god for guidance and he can help you to offer us more than bad quotes and cheap excuses. Otherwise, perhaps his plan is for you to make a bad impression on an atheist message board? His ways are inscrutable, after all.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
