It doesn't - evolution is nonsense - there is no way that after millions of years a bunch of single-cell organisms came together to make humans - of course, God may have started man using primordial ooze but it didn't just happen - there is a Creator!

Darwinian evolutionary theory does not explicitly "rule out the existence of God" as in saying or writing those words. But the implication is there as it gives no credence to an intelligent creator but only to evolution by natural selection.

It doesn't, But the "intelligent design" folks would like you to think it tries to.
The truth is that Evolution simply explains how life on earth has developed over the life time of the earth. It doesn't in any way try to rule out the existance of God.
The problem arises when stupid religious leaders decide that what evolution predicts doesn't jive with what THEY think the bible says. The religious leaders are the ones who claim evolution denies the existance of God.
Be smart, be intelligent. Don't buy their crap. Evolution is true. It may not be 100% accurate, but it is pretty close. You can believe in God and Evolution too.

There is the Intelligent Design theory which purports to fill in the holes left by evolutionary science. So the two are not mutually exclusive in that regard.
It generally states that God guided the evolutionary process.

The two theorys are somewhat incompatible, but it is possible to believe in God and evolution to some extent. We know things evolve very slowly. The evolution theory as far as mankind has huge gaping holes in it, like the missing link. And the fact that there are still apes, what is that all about? If evolution is true there should be no more apes, cuz the apes are what we used to be, right?

If you believe the evolution theory then life started by itself millions of years ago as a simple one celled whatever. This means no God was needed. God told how he did it just a few thousand years ago. It's much more believeable than evolution. Men of science guess at things that they say happened millions of years ago,but they don't even know what happened two hundred years ago.

A lot of religious zealots hate to think that they are anythign closely related to the monkeys and apes of the wild bwecause, after all, we are SOOO prefect and civilized! The darwnian theory doesn't rule out God it's jsut that it makes people uncomfortable. I'm a christian and believe in macro and micro evolution. Sh!t, I was I was half as cool as the monkeys in the wild!

It rules out the existence of God as described in the Torah, Bible and Qur'an, because it conflicts directly with what is written there. Yet it doesn't rule out the existence of God by any other description.

It doesn't. It doesn't even try to. Darwinian theory speaks of the physical world.
Belief in God is an element of faith, and not provable or disprovable in the physical world.

It doesn't. Evolutionary theory only proves that species change over time. It does not disprove anything since that's not what Darwin was setting out to do when he formulated his hypothesis in the first place and it's not what scientists examine when they test that hypothesis.

It doesn't.
The THEORY of evolution put forth by Darwin opposes the fact of Biblical creation but it does not contend with the existence of God.
