Unsimplifiability, proves Darwin was not intent on developing a working theory...

Those things occur, adaptive traits of Polar Bears being a strong example. But Polar Bears can still mate with Grizzles. Evolution is supposed to work one way but in nature that's really don't the case, in a lot of ways it's cyclical.

Of course they occur, but the process does not include divinity in any way we can see. Polar bears do not magically grow gills in a day, or year or century when their habitat melts to the ocean.

Really ? So what is one way it is supposed to work in nature and how is that different from how it actually works ?

What is an example of this cyclical evolution ?

The doctrine of creation is almost exclusively focused on the creation of life at the point of origin.

Darwin's finches for one thing. When introduced to the Galapagos the short strong beaks had an advantage and the ones with the long thin beaks perished. Reintroduced to the mainland that advantage flips.

In this case the birds flipped. The process of evolution worked just as it always does. Survival of the fittest to breed in nutshell.

So how is this different from how it should work ?

Clearly this is not case for everyone on these boards though.

In the case of an animal growing longer or more fur because of climate change to colder weather, I'm convinced that The Lord just makes these types of changes happen divinely.

It's not evolution, evolution goes one way. Variation can be explained by dominant and recessive genes, swapping out reading frames, genetic drift and a host of other less dramatic changes. Survival of the fittest bases all adaptive evolution and the struggle to survive as members of the population struggle within it's own ranks. Adaptive evolution doesn't work that way, most of it can be explained as molecular mechanisms developing an adaptive trait. The Arctic Cod for example as this brand new and unique gene that produces a gene that works like antifreeze. This was developed not once, not twice, but at least four times producing distinctly different genes and protein products that do the exact same thing. Natural selection by trying to explain everything actually explains nothing. It is an effect without a cause.

Evolution has no goal, it has no road map nor direction it is supposed to go. It literally goes where the circumstances take it.

God does and so does his creation.

Its not I who deny physical reality (science).

And if you want to do so, its peer-review or your views can safely be ignored.
Then ignore them but don't expect me to believe the physical world is all their is to reality, that's atheistic materialism not science.
