Actually, you misquoted the good Dr. He is only attributed with the following quote:

"God created the major types of animals and plant life and then used process to develop the tremendous variety of life forms we observe today."

The quote that precludes this one was from the website you mined the quote from.

But to answer your question, yes, I agree with the Dr.'s statement. The "variety" of life forms we see today can be attributed to the processes the Creator put in place that allow life forms to adapt and overcome....I see this as microevolution. The built-in ability to adapt and overcome, utlilizing the genetic makeup the life form was born with.

Need an example? Finches

(serious) semantics question: Does the term "quote mining" always carry a negative connotation? I have felt that it does. Also, is it really "quote mining" if I supply the url?

Anyway, I thought the Dr's quote was fairly presented within the paragraph I cut and pasted.

Ok, so you accept there are natural processes, divined from god, driving "microevolution." Did god put those processes in place and leave it alone, or is he governing them 24-7? I'm asking you these things seriously, to get a better feel as to where you are coming from.
