[MosesKnows]

Accepting evolution and believing in God are not mutually exclusive.

I think I agree. I've never been able to understand why some people think that a creator could not instantly create a rock that was one billion years old.

How could a person who has grasped the significance of the DNA language deny that we are here by plan, not by accident?

Consider! The precision of the genetic language is such that the average mistake that is not caught turns out to be one error per 10 billion letters. If a mistake occurs in one of the most significant parts of the code, which is in the genes, it can cause a disease such as sickle-cell anemia. Yet even the best and most intelligent typist in the world couldn't come close to making only one mistake per 10 billion letters.

Atheist amuse God by telling him of their plans.

"If a mistake occurs in one of the most significant parts of the code, which is in the genes, it can cause a disease such as sickle-cell anemia."

Not really. Sickle-cell anemia is a result of someone having two copies of the sickle hemoglobin (Hb S) allele. This allele, when carried in only one copy, infers an advantage for the person against malaria.

Sickle cell anemia is not the result of a new mutation.
