The only theories (or laws) that require divine intervention, in one manner or another, are those that are contrary to the fulfillment of 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.

I don't where you got that notion, but there have been no failed prophecies. If you want to play with words you could argue that the prophecy of the destruction of Nineveh 'failed'; but in reality God simply changed his mind when the people of Nineveh repented of their wickedness.

That has been exactly my point.

LOL. If you believe that you most certainly want to avoid being 'meek' (for ye shall inherit the earth if ye are meek). LOL. Listen. It is written that God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world. It is also written that the earth abideth forever. And after the judgement, there are still nations, there are still kings, the curse is removed, and the nations are healed. In other words, according to the Revelation of Jesus Christ, everyone lives happily ever after (well, except for "dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" [Revelation 22:15]).
