Is directed at those Evolutionists who pre-emptively deny your paintbrush analogy.

There's still no conflict. God nudging his creation here and there according to his plan would appear to be random speciation to us. Things tend to appear to be random when you don't know the big picture, but appearance is all scientists have to go on.

Totally fair point, and such nudges would be the "singlarities" I referred to in the initial post.

And if Evolutionists were to say "apparently random" or "observably random" mutation, much of the rest of this could fall by the wayside.

When they won't, I name their god, "random."
