I'm sorry you haven't studied any theology at all. You don't know what they say.
Would you say that you prefer not to know? Maybe it's easier to keep your vehemence that way.
If you're at all interested, the key is in the Platonic idea of the Good, which takes no action.
The first step in any honest debate is that you have to be able to present your opponent's position in a way he would agree with. This doesn't mean you agree with it, only that you understand it well enough to describe it accurately.
If you can't, then at best you don't know what you're arguing against, and at worst you have set up a straw man.
The Neoplatonic idea of God, as held by Erasmus Darwin and others, is entirely compatible with natural selection. If you can't describe that position then you don't know how to argue against it.
