Like the title of this thread? It is an usupportable position to take.If God wanted to use evolution to cause humans to evolve from amoebas or from platypuses I see no reason why He could not. Of course God could also use evolution to advance the changes in one species while another species was the result of special creation. He might even mix the two and have special creation be responsible for some things and evolutionary forces be responsible for others. But the evidence seems to indicate that what did not happen is a slow and gradual process that was the result of mutations.I can agree that the process seems to occur but I have yet to see any examples of any animals that did in fact evolve. The closest I can name is one in which two plants with a small number of genes mated to create a new plant with a large number of genes. hardly a slow and gradual process. Other than that all other examples are presumed (though quite strongly) from our observations, or are not actually examples of evolution, but merely of plasticity. Well, they would never use those words and since they would define magic as outside of the natural world and would say that life arose because of natural forces by definition it could not be magic. However, it is unscientific to make any claim that only natural forces have effect.
