>> Non-responsive. More tap-dancing. Subject changing . . . You objected to a scientific theory claiming that such theory didn't presuppose divine intervention. The question was whether you rejected other scientific theories which also do not presuppose divine intervention.

You really don't understand, do you? I'll try one more time. The only theories (or laws) that require divine intervention, in one manner or another, are those that are contrary to the fulfillment of prophecy. Currently I can think of only one: evolution. Now if God told me that I would rise up in the air and fly like Superman, a few physical laws would require divine intervention. I have no doubt God could accomplish this, if he pleased. But I don't see it happening in any of the prophecy.

Whoa. It's a big leap for many people to accept so-called "christian prophecy." In fact, many christians don't even accept it. Maybe it's been the multitude of failed prophecy, who knows?

But if prophecy is to be fulfilled, why would any earthly laws/theories have any bearing on them at all? An All powerful God couldn't care less about change in allele frequecies over time, He is supernatural and can supercede any silly earthly law at any time. Genesis contradicts all of physics and astronomy and biology... that certainly didn't stop God from doing those things (according to some believers)! For this to be the reason of your hesitation to accept evolution is strange, to me.

Now if God told me that I would rise up in the air and fly like Superman, a few physical laws would require divine intervention. I have no doubt God could accomplish this, if he pleased. But I don't see it happening in any of the prophecy.

I thought that was essentially a major part of the rapture; you're spirit anyway, will fly up and leave us heathen evolutionists back here on earth to rot.
