Nice outlook, George. I think that I have seen you express this before.
I have 2 questions:
1.) Why is this "Christian" as opposed to "theistic"?
2.) This then says that the process is not random, which is a
_contradiction_ of the theory of evolution as stated.
I again quote what Morris has published:
"The essence of evolution, of course, is randomness. The evolutionary
process supposedly began with random particles and has continued by
random aggregations of matter and then random mutations of
genes."
If this is not the correct _scientific_ understanding of evolution, then
where is it wrong? and if it is wrong, then should it not be corrected
_scientifically_ (not theologically).
