I.e., if God had nothing to do with evolution then God was not involved
with the development of life. This is an uninteresting tautology.

I know of no basis at all for the last sentence. I don't like the term
"theistic evolution" because the difference between "belief in God" and belief in
the Holy Trinity is profound. But if "theistic evolution" means anything it isn't
simply "belief in God" plus "belief in evolution." It is belief that God creates
through the evolutionary process, and thus is not within shouting distance of
deism.

& at times "creationists" have crossed various lines & "left the Lord",
though it is neither my business nor anyone else's to decide their ultimate fate.
