"I don't believe his method is philsophically or even theologically sound"

If you'd care to elaborate on that, I'd be interested in hearing your objections.

Okay. Philosophically, I believe Occums razor makes it unreasonable to believe that God tweaks an occaisonal mutation. The explanation that He acheived the evolution of man through a purely natural process is more parsimonious.

Theologically, the God we know from revelation and experience is one who generally prefers to work through the laws of nature and who only performs mircales on extremely rare occasions, and then generally only for the purpose of revealing himself to man. Therefore, it would seems more consistent with what we know about God that He would create man using a wholly natural process.
