Yes, I think God is about 6’ 4” and really tan.

Please read the entire argument. The matter in front of us is “...could evolution be a product of God.” The answer is no, because by definition (theirs not ours) evolution understands no direction in any part of the natural selection process. It is therefore, by extension, random events unguided and directionless. These assumptions are not compatible with biblical Christianity.

I am not addressing the intention of science nor do I dispute the contention that all things are a creation of God. That is my position. When a branch of that discipline (evolutionary biology) requires the omission of the possibility of a “guide” to all events irrespective of their appearance as random, we have hit an impasse.

No, you have hit an impasse. Biological science has never been a more productive field in terms of information and application.

I am a Biological scientist, and no biologists is insisting in their professional work that “God is not part of this process”, the definition you try to saddle upon Biologists is your own invention. Detection of a ‘guide’ or a ‘direction’ to evolution is not a question applicable to the scientific method.

Could evolution be the product of God? Of course it is. Every facet of creation is the product of God, and God called for the oceans and the land to bring forth life, and that life is incapable of staying exactly the same, and must, by necessity, evolve.

Six foot four?

I have it on good authority that Moses himself is Six foot Ten. ;)

Greatest Story Ever Told: Grateful Dead

Moses come ridin’ up on a quasar
His spurs were jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
And I asked him to come in out of the cold.

His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
Nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
I asked him for mercy, He gave he gave me a gun.
Now and again these things just got to be done.

Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You’d get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench.

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Said “You ain’t got a hinge, you can’t close the door.”
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said “You can’t close the door when the wall’s caved in.”

Ask him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle and broke into mine.
You get what you come for, ya ready to go
Well, it’s one in ten thousand that come for the show.

Abraham and Isaac diggin’ on a well
Mama came quick with the water witch spell
Well cool clear water well you can’t ever tell.

Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You’d get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
