Timaeus, there are many things you say in these responses that I agree
with. But, again and again, you assume that "random" must mean "no God
involved." Various people have tried from various angles to show that an
event that appears stochastic to us does not exclude purposeful action by
God -- e.g., the birth of a baby, the casting of lots. Several people have
taken up the question of "causation" and notions such as primary and
secondary causation. I haven't seen you address this at all, except to
imply that TEs are using these ideas to avoid conflict with "prominent
biologists." That's unfair.
