dhw: “Guidance” can only come in the form of preprogramming (or personal intervention/separate creation). Therefore I take it you believe there was a special amoeba programme as described above, plus a special programme for every innovation, lifestyle, strategy and natural wonder from Day One of life to the present, allowing for every environmental change (unless God fixed those too) - all inside a cell so tiny that we need a microscope to examine it. I wonder how your God ensured the survival of those first cells and the passing on of all the right programmes to all the right organisms, to be activated at all the right times. But you do not see why anyone should find such a hypothesis questionable.-DAVID: Same response. Why can't fine tuning apply to all of the problems we see in explaining how evolution works?-Not really a response at all, but we can use “fine tuning” if you like. You claim that the "fine tuning" for every single innovation etc. is done by a 3.8-billion-year computer programme passed down from the microscopic first cells etc. etc., as described above, together with all the associated problems described above, but for some reason you do not see why anyone should find such a hypothesis questionable.
