That doesn't mean you're right. Your gut isn't objective. In fact, your "gut" isn't telling you anything at all. It's your brain.
It's wise to be particularly wary of intuitions about topics in which you have no expertise - and to treat intuitions about topics in which you have expertise as informed guesses.Gut feeling = intuition.

My intuition regarding evolution is an informed guess.
It really isnt. You are clearly ignorant about the ToE.

Because I haven't done anything to address them.Well saint i do not see anything you have done to address them. Why is that?
Evolution is about changes to living things. Rain storms are about little drops of water falling from the sky. Dice throwing is about little cubes. Neither little cubes nor drops of water are living things. Therefore they are not part of evolution.Well dont be shy. Why do you think neither one has anything to do with evolution.
Gut feelings, can be heavily influenced by a desire to fullfill a personal psychological need. One example would be; protecting a faith belief, at all costs.
But hey, if it works for you, and makes you a better person, that is cool.
But, from your posts, you don't appear to understand evolution, let alone have expertise. Which suggests that your intuition that your intuition is informed, is mistaken.My intuition regarding evolution is an informed guess.

Nope, you believe because you want to belive. You dont know or even understand the data.
That was the point. If the book can not be used to definitively set Christian morality then it seems a poor method to use.
To be 'biblically' moral one must be led by the Holy Spirit. That doesn't take anything away from secular morality however. Any moral behavior is good.
