Aren't we touchy?

When it comes to intruding God into scientific theories, yes.

Evolution is the subject at the moment. Perhaps I should have said, "might possibly, conceivably, and without flying in the face any absolute supercosmic law of ineffable existence that anyone is aware of, be guided."

Well, you can say that if you like, but it's nothing to do with Darwin's theory which is " The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection". It is somewaht fundamental to the theory that evolution is NOT guided by supernatural forces or anything else.

My real point was that, although various people seem to be quite prepared to argue with pete, who is a self declared believer in the literal truth of the Bible, Guest from Sanity , who appears to be deranged, and Chongo, who is a fictional chimpanzee, nobody seems to be prepared to address your challenge to scientific orthodoxy which only differs from Creationism by degree not principle. Those three seem to be beyond reason but I would have thought that you were still open to persuasion.
