I could go with the theory that god made the universe, and made the building blocks of science, knowing it would 'evolve' into us. Or that god guides evolution, perhaps thru controlling environments -- kinda like we do with plants.

So you’re a 'theist evolutionist'… We can label each other without real meaning if you like.

I do not believe that mankind evolved from plants or animals.

We can label each other without real meaning if you like.

I'd say there's a very specific meaning -- to clearly define what we're really talking about. Ya'll say amazing things about 'Darwinism', all the while you actually believe species evolve.

That's very important, in this context.

Oh, and I was describing your theory, which I found plausible. You'd be the 'theist evolutionist'.

I, personally, don't believe that. I don't see any evidence that there is any guiding force to the universe what-so-ever. I look around, and see chaos reigns supreme, so conclude no one is in charge.

But I'm also keenly aware I could be wrong.
