Evolution Unites those of Faith and Atheists

I apologize for my delay in posting for this round; technical difficulties at my end are to blame.I shall respond to my opponent's arguments this round, and wrap up and extend my own arguments in the final round.Firstly, I take issue with the manner in which my opponent treats the subject of evolution; instead of accepting evolution as referring to evolution by natural selection, Pro instead perceives evolution to be an all-encompassing progressive force, generally representing developments in technology, culture, medicine and more. Pro justifies this view by presenting Bejan's constructal law, which pertains to the natural tendencies of flow systems, as a more evolved understanding of evolution. Not only is this unfounded, but it is a distraction from the subject at hand. Bejan's constructal law provides a basis, a lens of sorts through which we can observe flow in nature. In even the most infinitesimal detail, Bejan states, all flow systems develop to facilitate easiest access. Does this relate to natural selection? Of course. But does this necessarily represent an evolved understanding of what natural selection is and how it works? No. Bejan is simply applying broad notions of evolution in the most literal sense to explain physical phenomena. This is not an extension of Darwinism, which presents natural selection as a filter through which the evolution of species is veritably determined. Bejan's notion of what is "easiest access" for flow systems is not easily defined nor quanitified, while Darwinism is very clear cut on what natural selection is and how it functions.My opponent goes on to justify young-earth creationism with the concept of time dilation. Yet again, Pro employs this distraction to mask the fact that conflict continues over the Earth's age. I must digress: I have yet to observe a young-earth creationist actually cite time dilation. Nevertheless, the existence of time dilation as a concept does not detract from the fact that young-earth creationists continue to deny what scientists say the age of the Earth actually is. I do not set out in my arguments to discredit young-earth creationists; rather, I prove that conflict exists between the scientific community and young-earth creationists. The existence of such a conflict has not been refuted by my opponent as of yet; I would argue it has even been acknowledged.Pro: "through religious reformation (aka evolution) Catholicism no longer incarcerates scientists, torture for heresy, etc. Such cultural evolution aligns the faithful with the moral conduct of today's faithless"This rationale is meaningless. The convergence of moral standards does not mean that evolution is uniting atheists and the religious in the present. As I have already proven in R2, conflict exists between atheists and theists over the subject of evolution which proves the opposite is true.It is evident my opponent's arguments about evolution as a progressive societal force undermines the very same resolution he seeks to affirm. Pro claims that the debate over Darwinism will eventually subside (it hasn't, and it's been quite a while), and the transformation of religious institutions will ultimately unite the faithful and the faithless. What Pro fails to understand is that the resolution he puts forth is one that is applicable only in the present, hence "evolution *unites*..." and not "evolution *will unite*..." This debate is about whether evolution bridges the gap between the religious and the nonreligious. I have already proven it does not.Whether evolution is framed as an panoptic societal force or a natural process which provides insight into current variation in nature, conflict still exists over the issue of evolution. Whether time dilation can be used to justify young-earth creationism or not, young-earth creationists continue to deny scientific estimates in regards to the age of the Earth. Perceiving evolution as a progressive tendency does nothing to refute the notion that unity over the issue of evolution simply does not exist.
