dhw: You have even said that Wagner's proposal might work, provided God designed it. The subject is what enables organisms to accelerate the processes you describe. Your own explanation is preprogramming of every single development, direct dabbling, or the inventive mechanism, all of which EXCLUDE chance. It's the origin of the inventive mechanism which then becomes the area of debate.-We don't know if an IM exists. It is a proposal to get around the problem of evolution only at God's direction with only pre-programming or dabbling at His disposal. P-P or DAB are directly by God, but I do not see God allowing an IM to operate totally outside of His wishes. We currently see a beneficial mutation rate (producing evolutionary advances) which is very slow. It has been suggested that since humans are here and very functional, evolution has stopped. It has gone as far as was intended. Perhaps this is why we don't see new speciation in the past 300 years or so that we have now become aware we should be looking for some.
