Fascinating indeed! It appears to be a variant of directed evolution, where the Creator directs how evolution happens through speciation, adaptation, mutations, and natural selection.
Basically, the theory of evolution with God shepherding the process along...
No, you misunderstand. It’s not “evolution” of any kind at all, “directed” or not. There is no increase of genetic information, which is characteristic of evolution (despite what some say, that evolution is merely genetic “drift”). There is no “common ancestor.” And so on.
The “orchard model” speaks of drift, of a loss of genetic information over time, all the while the various “kinds” of creatures staying within their “kind.”
Maybe take another look at it.
