Dhw: As usual, you scurry away from “how evolution works” to the question of origin, although over and over again - even in the passage you have quoted - I have ceded that the mechanism may have been designed by your God.-DAVID: And I've said to you the whole process is a continuum from the first cell to now, so origin must always be included in a discussion of mechanism.-And I have granted the possibility that the origin is your God. The discussion on “how evolution works” therefore revolves around your God's intentions and methods, not whether God is the source. -DAVID: But there must be a first cause. What is it? You decline to propose an answer.-I have never declined to propose an answer, but have repeated over and over again the hypothesis we both subscribe to: namely, eternal energy. In your hypothesis it has always inexplicably been intelligent. In my alternative hypothesis it has ceaselessly transmuted itself into matter and vice versa, in the course of which intelligence has inexplicably evolved through matter.
