dhw:You said “I couldn't agree more that God may have given organisms the ability to 'work it out for themselves'", then later added that this was only possible if God guided the organisms. I am simply pointing out that this is an either/or. Either organisms are intelligent enough to do it themselves or your God tells them what to do. You clearly do not agree that God gave organisms the ability to work it out for themselves, and so there is no point in saying that you do. You have therefore restricted yourself to the belief that every innovation and natural wonder was preplanned or dabbled.-Yes.
