Evolution

I would be glad to do that since this opens the doors for finding intelligent causes in nature also (which supposedly science cannot do).

Science has no problem finding intelligent causes in nature. When an archaeologist finds a pot or a flint arrowhead then she can scientifically deduce an intelligent cause. When the DNA of a GM organism is sequenced there is often no difficulty in deducing an intelligent cause - sometimes the name of the company is written in the DNA.

Science has a problem with finding an intelligent supernatural cause because of its supernatural nature, not because of the intelligence or the causation. Science does not deal with the supernatural so it has great difficulty with a proposed supernatural entity. For example, if the supernatural entity is causing DNA then how does it actually move the relevant molecules around? How can science detect the movement of these molecules? Where and when should scientists look? How can a supernaturally moved molecule be distinguished from a naturally moving molecule (Brownian motion and so forth)?

There are a lot of detailed questions for proponents of supernatural intelligent causes to answer in order for scientists to be able to test the material end of the causal process - moving molecules or whatever.

I don’t see God be glorified here. Mostly the mind of man and new, new knowledge that will explain everything through science. It has been consistent and ongoing. Evolution, to some, works just as well without God as with God.

And it is so strange that that’s how he fashioned us.
