I accept the fact of a Divine Creation, since life cannot create itself from nothing.
Man is unique, but he is still evolving, being caught in an ever-changing environment, whether by his own actions or not. Those who do not adapt will not survive.
There is no need to choose one side or the other in this argument. The ultimate reconciliation is that both of God's creative mechanisms are in play, all the time.
I'm not talking about a political choice, I'm talking about a logical choice.
You have a theory in which there are multiple entities, which are not contingent to each other, producing the same result. If your theory were a scientific paper, then peer review would no doubt warrant that one of the mechanisms be discarded, unless you can logically reconcile them.
Just saying that they are compatible doesn't cut it, especially when there are obvious empirical (the fossil record) logical (multiple entities) and theological (Genesis 1&2) conflicts
Adaptation doesn't infer evolution. In fact, I could say that man, being a living soul, and having the awareness and intelligence of such, can easily adapt just fine without invoking evolution [and in particular, natural selection]
Now, if it is true that man evolved, and his awareness and intelligence is contingent to that mechanism...then how is he unique from any other living creature on this planet that is evolving.
Your position, as comfortable as it may make you feel, simply does not make sense....empirically, logically, philosophically, and theologically.
Convince me otherwise.....
