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

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.

There is no scientific evidence of guidance in the process. This does not mean that the process is unguided, it means only that any guidance that may have been involved is thus far undetectable. Thus, an accurate representation is that the process is "apparently" unguided, not that it is without question unguided.

This "image" -- do you mean "body", or "soul"?
