"unguided process"

You guys are getting hung up on words. What's a guided process?

Every time I throw a ball in the air, it comes back down to Earth. Is that a guided process? God at work?

The universe operates by certain physical rules - that covers everything from the way planets move to the way crystals grow. Why can't you also accept that rules could guide the way life develops from simple single-celled organsisms to more complex? A LOT can happen over billions of years.

Unguided is what you say when evo's get mad at your for calling the mechanism random mutation and natural selection. In other words, is evolution compatible with the notion that God made man in His own image? Or, if the process was started all over again would it yield the exact same result?

If so, it is not unguided. Many evolutionists believe the fact that we look the way we do is a result of a random unguided process, although they stress random less these days and emphasize natural selection as the mechanism.

When I observe systems like the human reproductive system or the cardiovascular system, I cannot see them as evolutionary. Not in billions of years. Not in trillions of years. I am open to persuasion but I just don't see systems evolving from non-systems. They take intelligence to design.
