Whether I satisfy that burden of proof to academic standards or not, post #10 still stands as wrong.

Whether I satisfy that burden of proof to academic standards or not, post #10 still stands as wrong.If you're trying to make the claim that angels are living beings that exist throughout the universe, the burden of proof is on you.
Otherwise, post #10 stands.
The same way the titular Alien from movies does.I have a question for smot people:
How is it the angels had the privilege of circumventing evolution, but Homo sapiens didn't?
As I said, that attitude causes mistakes to be made in the theology department; just like my attitude toward academia in general causes me to make mistakes in the science department.The same way the titular Alien from movies does.
No one has a reasonable claim to theological truth tho. It boils down to faith. At least with science you can show another person their mistake.As I said, that attitude causes mistakes to be made in the theology department; just like my attitude toward academia in general causes me to make mistakes in the science department.

That depends on the environment - a novel environment might require novel adaptations.After the billions of generations and fantastical- tillion
individuals, it would be real tough to find an improvement
that has not been tried.
More like they are compatible, they do not conflict.Like, God steps in to meddle now and then?

God is sovereign he does what He wants when He wants.Um OK so do you mean God meddles or doesnt
God "meddles" with His creation from time to time on an as-needed basis; telling nature to "stand aside."Um OK so do you mean God meddles or doesnt
Maybe...As in a mutation that had occurred countless times but
is favored in this setting.
That's all very well, but the question before us is really, "Does God periodically and routinely tinker with molecular genetics in some undetectable way so that the creatures turn out the way He wants?" I don't believe in that particular "miracle."God "meddles" with His creation from time to time on an as-needed basis; telling nature to "stand aside."
Examples include parting the Red Sea, the Burning Bush, the Tower of Babel, the Ten Plagues, various weather phenomenon, and this doosey ...
Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Throw in the sun and moon standing still, and it's enough to make a college graduate believe the Bible speaks of geocentrism.
In the New Testament, we have the Virgin Birth, Death & Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and His ascension into Heaven.
All of these nature-defying acts have a technical term that defies scholarly explanation and scientific scrutiny: "miracles."
Maybe...

You mean like here?That's all very well, but the question before us is really, "Does God periodically and routinely tinker with molecular genetics in some undetectable way so that the creatures turn out the way He wants?" I don't believe in that particular "miracle."
No genetic meddling there; I've seen that trick done by magicians in Middle-Eastern marketplaces.You mean like here?
Exodus 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
No -- not periodically and routinely.
???No genetic meddling there;
Trick? you mean "miracle"?Speedwell said:... I've seen that trick done by magicians in Middle-Eastern marketplaces.
