“...if the theistic evolutionist means to affirm the standard Darwinian view of the natural selection/mutation mechanism as an undirected process while simultaneously affirming that God is still causally responsible for the origin of new forms of life, then the theistic evolutionist implies that God somehow guided or directed an unguided and undirected process. Logically, no intelligent being--not even God--can direct an undirected process. As soon as he directs it, the 'undirected' process would no longer be undirected.”

“if God did not at least direct the process of mutation and selection (and/or other relevant evolutionary mechanisms), but instead merely sustained the laws of nature that made them possible, then it follows that he could not know, and does not know, what those mechanisms would (or will) produce, including whether they would have produced human beings...Since in this view, nature has significant autonomy from God, and since God does not direct or control the evolutionary process, he cannot know what it will produce--a conclusion at odds with God's omniscience and providence. Similarly, since God doesn not direct the evolutionary process, what it produces cannot be said to express his specific intentions in creation--a conclusion that also stands at odds with the biblical claim that God made man expressly in his own image and 'foreknew' him.”

“Unfortunately we live in a time in which only those who have themselves conducted science in some authorized manner are allowed to say anything about what science is and where it should go.”

“...if living organisms are the result of a directed process, then it follows that the appearance of design in living organisms is real, not merely apparent or illusory. Nevertheless, chief proponents of theistic evolution reject the theory of intelligent design with its claim that the appearance of design in living organisms is real. Thus, any proponent of theistic evolution who affirms that God is directing the evolutionary mechanism, and who also rejects intelligent design, implicitly contradicts himself.”

“Methodological naturalism asserts that , to qualify as scientific, a theory must explain all phenomena by reference to purely physical or material--that is, non-intelligent or non-purposive--causes or processes.”
