[HamiltonJay]

Evolution is based on a lack of preordination (e.g., a lack of intelligent design).

The theory of evolution does no such thing. It says changes occur over time, due to stimulus of their environment, it does not say that such changes are not directed by larger forces. It is a theory explaining the HOW, not the WHY.

Change itself is visible evidence of God, and has been an accepted tenament of Catholicism since at least the 1200's if not before.... St. Thomas Aquina first mover postulate has been accepted since its publication, if not before.

I believe the belief that changes occur due to environmental conditions is Lamark's, not Darwin's. Darwin believed that the variation already existed and that nature just selected the most "survivable", from which came the phrase "survival of the fittest".
