Different in degree or kind: Egnor's take (Introduction)

dhw: In the great big world, there are millions of problems, all of different kinds. Bacteria have found solutions to them all. Did God give them millions of automatic “shifts” to counter every single one of them? Or does he do a dabble whenever there’s a new one? Or did he give them the means to find their own solutions? That is the theistic choice.

I know, and bacteria are capable of living in any extreme environment, and God helped, and I do not have the answer of exactly how He did it.

dhw: I can only quote your marvellous comment a few days ago: “I don’t believe God follows human logic in what he does.” Since you believe that God preprogrammes or dabbles, you clearly believe that these hypotheses are NOT compatible with human logic. And so on the assumption that you are human (though in my admiration for you, I sometimes wonder if you aren’t superhuman), you find them illogical.

Logically, God is required, and I admit I cannot follow His logic at times.
