I don't think I'd be an evolutionist even if I were an atheist (a possibility not so far from my mind as you might suspect). I'm actually a pretty highly technical person by trade, and my opinion of evolution is informed by years of real world experience with 'how things work'.

I rate this a 3. It's ignorant and stupid, but not really fundie. He even hints that he might even have doubts of the existence of God. No fundie would ever do that.
Of course, there's always a chance he is lying about his belief in a god, which is the only reason I didn't give this a 1.
Never undersood mechanical analogies for dis-proving evolution, like the Way of the Master's video talking about aeroplanes. They actually end up sounding more like an argument in favour of theistic evlution - an intellegence designs the orginal object and it changes, developes and adapts to needs as time goes on.

Liar. You have picked up some basic skills on some topic (say, accounting) and you are so conceited you think it makes you an expert on everything. You don't know a damn thing about evolution but that doesn't stop you from blatting your ignorance about it.
So, were he to be an Atheist as he suggests is possible, but not believe in evolution. I'm curious to know exactly what his explanation may be.
Since Atheism is based in no belief in any deity, nothing could have "didit". Would it be some sort of weird spontaneous existence of everything exactly as it is now?

Quite the opposite, actually. Read through any dedicated Fundie site, and you'll see slews of ex-Lesbian, evolutionist, blah-blah-blah who just had to see the light to turn their backs on that life forever. It's not an admission, it's a backdoor method to try to appeal to emotion...like "If I can see this as silly, you should too," or some such.
Is your trade molecular biology? Zoology? Paleontology? Genetics? Chemistry?
If not, you're out of your depth concerning evolution. Congratulations, you've reached the bottom of the hole. Stop digging.
Well, as the Church of England prove...:

...your brain doesn't work.
Reconciling one's faith with proven scientific fact. When not only they, but the Catholic church admit that Evolution is fact, you know you've got problems, mark-o.
Dr. Buzz Aldrin is a technical person even higher than you: in more ways than one. He got his Ph.D from MIT. A quote by him (on the Moon Landings):
It is a magnificent testimony to the evolution of humankind
He is a Conservative Christian .
Your 'Opinion' is invalid.
I kinda like this as he's leaning towards Atheism (he's already Agnostic) but evolution has no bearing on his decision. Didn't in my life either, as Skydaddies booky-book is bullshit even if evolution is wrong or right.
Definately not fundie.
+1
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
