there are those of us who have come to doubt macro-evolution for non-religous reasons. (original)

I am extremely interested in what a non-religious alternative to evolution could be. If there is a non-religious entity creating living systems or guiding their evolution, how did it/they come into existence?

What I said was that I have come to doubt macro-evolution for non-religous reasons -- namely that my faith is not dependent on accepting a literal interpretation of Genesis. Certain parts of the Gospels, yes. But not Genesis.

I believed in God when I accepted evolution without question. I believe in God, now. If I ever again become convinced that evolution is how man came to exists I will continue to believe in God.

The only evidence for evolution which seems to be presented is either micro-evolutionary changes in particular species (which I accept as occurring but not as proof of macro-evolution) and the fossil record which isn't proof of evolution.

You did not respond in any way to my question of what might be a non-religious alternative to evolution. What mechanism other than variation and selection do you propose?
