Pfssl:

'Evolutionists themselves have a bottom line, non negotiables'. That is a lie.

'Consensus is the enemy of science, otherwise progress would not have been made'. That is gobbledegook.

Scientists do not talk about facts, they do not have a faith position in their professional lives. They deal in hypotheses, theories, observation and evidence.
Creationists are not experts in anything but an unprovable belief. They are not scientists, they do not go where the evidence takes them; they stay glued blindly to their belief, fingers in ears and effectively going 'na, na, na, I can't hear you', to anyone who asks them to look dispassionately at the evidence. Your own posts are overwhelming evidence of this.
I have a religious faith, albeit one which you have sneered at in the past, and I have no difficulty in accepting evolution as part of God's plan.
I have learnt from history that fundamentalism in religion is the enemy of humanity. Whether it is so-called Christians murdering medical staff who work in the field of abortion or so-called Muslims jihadists slaughtering those who do not accept their fascist, death loving belief.
What do you think of Westboro baptist church?
I don't know if you have a blind faith in the Bible and believe and live by every word in it, but if you do then you believe in treating others with appalling cruelty.   If that is not the case how do you choose what to accept and what not to? It is disturbing to find someone who believes that humanity is incapable of progress and that morality can only be determined by a society that existed more than two thousand years ago. There are many people who are able to relate Christian teaching to today's world and are wise enough to recognise that the Bible is an inspirational work without seeing it as an inflexible, immovable template for living.
As a matter of interest, do you adhere to the dietary laws as detailed in the Old Testament?
I know some of this is thread drift but I am afraid I find a great deal of what you say insulting, offensive and obnoxious (and frequently ludicrous).
