It would be sort of like allowing me, with my doctorate in molecular genetics to design the invasion strategy in Iraq. I can have fact-based suggestions, but my level of expertise in that area does not approach what would be required to have a realistic chance of success! In my mind however, there has never been a conflict between the concepts of intelligent design and evolution. I simply regard evolution as a possible mechanism by which the intelligent design was achieved.

Wow! It's nice for this lay reader of books on paleontology to find herself in the company of someone with a doctorate in molecular genetics, who thinks as I have thought for some time: that evolution IS intelligent design. Evolution doesn't challenge the existence of God. It challenges the assumptions of men who presume to tell the rest of us how God does and does not work His miracles.

"It challenges the assumptions of men who presume to tell the rest of us how God does and does not work His miracles."

God told us how He did it in the Bible. Evolution and the Bible are incompatible.
