These are good comments, important enough to start a new thread (I'll
do this later today, "theistic/deistic evolution") devoted to them,
independent of questions about NABT policy.

Allan says,

You're right; thanks for the correction; a claim that TA "did not
occur" is more accurate,
because, as Allan correctly points out,
>saying that a
>specific process is not a result of supernatural intervention is not a
>statement that there is no supernatural whatsoever.
