In order to fully accept the theory of evolution, you are saying human beings are an accident.

No, one can imagine an intelligent designer that planned every movement of every atom, including the emergence of man.

As usual with those who believe in theistic evolution (assuming that's your position), you didn't address the points I raised.

You can imagine whatever you want, that doesn't mean your beliefs are consistent with the modern theory of evolution. Again, according to the modern theory, evolution has no plan, purpose, or goal. If we were to hit the rewind button on life, allowing the earth to evolve again from scratch, we would get entirely different results; meaning humans probably wouldn't exist (according to the theory, that is).

In fact, the theory wouldn't work if there were a goal, it's how they get around the probability hurdles. Your above statement is the antithesis of how evolution works.

Those who believe in theistic evolution are closet IDers imo. And FYI, many of the most prominent ID proponents accept common ancestry; they think humans an apes share a common ancestor etc.
