So, it is OK to say Evolution did it, Mother Nature did it....but to claim the Creator did it is a no no. This is despite the fact that a "Creator" is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence for the United States.
What does this have to do with anything ? You can find millions of references to Santa Claus, doesn't make it real. A paper trying to explain a natural process invoking a fictional character can't be taken seriously, no matter which character is used.
Darwin himself referred to the "Creator" in the Origin of Species:
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
So, by that token, Darwin would have his scientific contributions withdrawn. This is madness.
