You're lucky to find a biologist who will even discuss the concept. It's rare to find anyone who does work in biology who's even curious about design. It doesn't bring anything to the table.
Divine intervention is another discussion entirely, though. ;)
Totally wrong. It is evolution that brings nothing to the table. It is evolution that gets thoroughly discredited with every single biological discovery. Let's see, in 1859 Pasteur showed that spontaneous generation does not occur, so much for abiogenesis which it took evolutionists some 10 years to take out of their philosophy. Then in the beginning of the 1900's Mendel's work was rediscovered, it discredited Darwin's UNSCIENTIFIC 'melding' theory and it took evolutionists decades to make up a story to reconcile it. Then in the 1950's DNA was discovered and evolutionists had to run for the hills again but this time it was not so convincing, the creation of new genes is well nigh impossible at random and many scientists said so. Then came the genome project which got rid of the self-serving but totally unscientific claim by evolutionists that all DNA not in genes was junk and just the remnants of mutations and previous species. It showed that genes were nothing, and that the junk was what made organisms tick and furthermore that the mechanisms were so intricate that they could never have arisen at random. Now the evos are trying to say that evolution is the result of some kind of an algorithm which makes everything fit. Well when someone shows me a thinking rock, or a thinking cloud, I will believe that nonsense. Personally I am a million times more likely to believe that a million monkeys with typewriters wrote Shakespeare's plays.
