Re: Does God Intervene in the Evolution?
What sort of intervention is God supposed to have done?
​
i have a proposition: selection.
​
evolution is two parts: variation and natural selection. clearly, we can manipulate evolution ourselves with artificial selection. why could god not do the same on a much more massive scale? i say, "supernatural selection."
​
Sort of an "Oops can't let this creature evolve THAT way, gotta have it go THIS way" sort of thing?
​
ie: mass extinctions.
