He is an intelligent human being. There is nothing mystical about the theory of evolution. Or any of the related subjects.
I recently read an article about the origin of life.
The origins of life on Earth
They obviously know nothing about biology either. All they can say is that life evolved. There is no explanation as to the mechanism. There are just sweeping generalisations that are typical of evolutionists. For example:
"Yet without them we may not be here at all. Prokaryotes were the earliest life forms, simple creatures that fed on carbon compounds that were accumulating in Earth’s early oceans. Slowly, other organisms evolved that used the Sun’s energy, along with compounds such as sulfides, to generate their own energy. Cyanobacteria then went a step further: they started to utilise water during photosynthesis, releasing oxygen as a by-product. Over time, enough oxygen accumulated in Earth’s atmosphere to allow for the evolution of oxygen-metabolising organisms."
It is a series of statements with no evidence to back them up. Life has never been formed in a lab under ideal conditions. How can it form in the hostile environment that supposedly existed at the time? What imparts life to simple chemicals just floating around water? What caused those chemicals to organise into a complex structure? Even the simplest cell is remarkably complex. What made the cells divide to reproduce? How does a hyper simple creature like a Prokaryote recognise what food is? Nothing "just happens". Yet that is the basis for evolutionary theory.
