God would have had to change genes with new mutations. He would modify transcription and translation factors, thus changing the direction of genome drives. That is a technical description. He does this with his mind. If you read my entry yesterday on the development of the big brain and all the problems it presents to the Darwin theory, it indicates that must be a designer at work. Do you have an another view in mind?

BBella; I understand you mean by the mind of God, but if you were observing this change in the genome as it's happening, would you see a sudden change as if by magic, for no apparent external/internal reason?

That is what I would think. When one looks at speciation it is always in big jumps in body form (phenotype) and function. No tiny steps are ever found. This is Gould's reason for developing the theory of punctuated equilibrium.
