dhw: I have merely tried to point out the flaws in the article you quoted. You claim to believe in common descent, and so you should also reject everything he says about mutations. I already know you believe mutations (and speciation) are programmed or dabbled, and you already know that my hypothesis of cellular intelligence as the organizer of the mutations allows for God as the designer. And since the author sneers at the unscientific nature of belief in chance, why don't you criticize his failure to acknowledge the unscientific nature of his own theory (which of course you do recognize)? Let's have some balance here!

DAVID: But his point is God speciates, to which he and I both agree. Of course he argues against chance. So do I. He does not accept common descent. I think God used evolution as a God-controlled process, so on this one point he and I do not see eye to eye. Many of the ID folks side with him, I think mainly on theological grounds. They are primarily of Christian background. I'm not. Perhaps the reason why we differ.

As above, I asked for balance. Thank you for now rejecting his point about mutations, with its implicit support for separate creation and its complete lack of scientific evidence, of which he seems unaware as he sneers at the unscientific nature of belief in chance.
