Subject: RE: BS: Is there any merit to creationism?
"However, if believers see God within the evolutionary process, where's the conflict? The process is the same, whether one sees God in it or not."

The conflict, as far as I can see, is in taking a wholly evidence based system and introducing into it, an intrinsically untestable item, for which there is no evidence and for which there can never BE any evidence.

Add to that the fact that your own statement ("The process is the same, whether one sees God in it or not."), leads to the corollary that the process is the same, whether there IS a God, or not!

Since the inclusion of a God adds no evidence, adding God to the system improves its validity not one jot. Removing God diminishes its validity not one jot.

There is simply no rational need for the inclusion of a deity.
