The Car is the point of responsiblity. in the analogy the car are the poor people you are neglecting.

Try again.
Simply saying "no, it's not" and repeating the non-sequitur doesn't change that it's a non-sequitur. To make the car the point of the analogy is to ignore the massive difference between the respective players. This is a constant in Christian apologetics; god is capable of immeasurably more than all of humanity put together, yet nothing is expected of him by comparison and the fault for the outcome is on everyone else's shoulders. In no other facet of our lives do we so casually shrug off responsibility the way god is allowed to. That makes no sense.
"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."
