How long is one day in GOD time?
Most people (on either side) don't. It's the anti-evolution creationists who keep picking the fights.
Agree. And even if the two are not 'one process', it is conceivable that The Hand of God (ID) has some influence over evolution and what evolves over time. Does evolution necessarily have to be random?
Part of the problem is the definition for "Intelligent Design."
The pro-ID folks on these threads have given us about a half dozen definitions, all significantly different. Which one is the correct one???
To our credit, the pro-evolution posters have presented only a single definition of evolution, or the big bang, etc.
Remember the whole thrust of ID is to identify "design" by (supposedly) eliminating "natural causes". So do you have a problem with the implication of ID that, to the extent God uses natural processes, this wouldn't "count" as design (or maybe even as divine activity)?
Shouldn't a believer be schooled to see God's hand and His Providence in the mundane as well as the miraculous? In the end isn't ID, even if it avoids or suppresses some of its more untenable assertions, just like "creation science" in that it concedes the central premise of the militant scientific atheist: that to the extent the world can be seen to be seamlessly coherent in the operation of natural law, that atheism is the warranted conclusion?
There are many here on FR that do not find God and Evolution to be "mutually exclusive"..
