I have no problem with my theist theroy of evolution and can't understand why some people feel so...threatened by it.
If God made all things, then why is it so inconcievable that His hand guides evolution?

Perhaps you could give us some clue as to how evolution would be different if guided. You need to hurry, because the mechanics are currently under study. Evolution is quickly moving from science to engineering, from study of fossils to active laboratory investigation.

I understand and accept your point but please remember there are those of us who have come to doubt macro-evolution for non-religous reasons. I strongly question whether macro-evolution occurs. Expressing such doubts often finds oneself subject to rather ad hominem arguments. It happens to those expressing a pro-evolutionists also, I know, and I like to think I've not been a party to the practice.

I don't think macro-evolution has been proved and I think there's nothing wrong -- actually I think it's benefical -- to treat it with some skeptism.
