        "God" or "a god"?  I  can't see how it can be the latter. That is, 
it's unclear how the conclusions of  evolutionary theory can "shred any possible 
basis for belief" in a god.   Make such a belief highly unlikely? Maybe.  But 
impossible (logically?  empirically?)?  I think it unlikely that statements 
of unqualified  "impossibility" are useful here.
