"Richard Dawkins, today's most influential evolutionist, describes natural selection as "a blind, unconscious, automatic process" that is "the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life."

That's a quote. The explanation. All life. What room does that leave for, well, say, God? Not much.'"

Good grief - why should we expect people who have no personal faith to include God in their explanation of scientific processes? Because they don't see God in the process, that does not invalidate the scientific process. They may not be able to see God anywhere. So what? Do they have to come from the same spiritual place as you or I before we can accept the possiblity that they have accurately described the PROCESS by which God worked?

No, if the scientific process is the same, but what they are describing is pure atheism, and conflicts with all forms of theism and not just Christianity.
