Theistic evolution is slow creation.Theistic Evolution says that DNA is the "Language of God".
Theistic Evolution shows us how God does what He does. Her gives us wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that we can give Him Praise and Honor and Glory for the all that He has done.Theistic evolution is slow creation.
-_- and? You do realize that evolution can explain highly specialized body structures, right?
Also, feathers do have many secondary functions, such as mate attraction and warmth.
If you think you refuted my post, you didn't.

"In the very moment of that flash in which the universe was created, an unimaginable burst of energy, God also had the plan of how that would coalesce into stars and galaxies, planets, and how life would arrive on a small planet near the outer rim of a spiral galaxy. And ultimately, over hundreds of millions of years, give rise to creatures with intelligence and in whom he could infuse this search for him and this knowledge of good and evil. And all of that happened in his mind in the blink of an eye. While it may seem to us that this whole process has the risk of randomness and, therefore, an unpredictable outcome, that was not the case for God." (Francis Collins)

NO, not necessarily. I believe it much depends on the circumstances.Theistic evolution is slow creation.
Sigh, in summary, some mutations do in fact produce features that are beneficial to survival and reproduction. These mutations thus are passed down to the next generation, and so on and so forth, until the resulting population mostly contains individuals with the trait that started from a mutation in a population in which it was previously absent.Yet the theory can't account for how...
I am pretty sure that Collins has more of a following then you do.That is the Collins version of "theistic evolution," not mine, not how I see God related to evolution.
Dinosaurs turned into birds? Wow. Never heard that before. I did hear that birds are the most 'similar' animals to dinosaurs, but that they both developed independently.
...I don't believe it.
There's nothing in your post that needs any refutation.If you think you refuted my post, you didn't.
Feather are highly specialised things for flight.

Any port in a storm. No one else seems to want to have a serious conversation about the subject that this forum was developed to discuss.It doesn't seem like you are a part of that following though...
NO, (theistic evolution is not 'slow creation') not necessarily. I believe it much depends on the circumstances.

If anyone alive knows it would be Collins sense he was director and leading expert in that Arena.You didn't answer my question.
I'll ask again:
Do you also agree with this statement of Collins:
Universal common descent by natural processes is scientifically non‐negotiable. The theory of neo‐Darwinian evolution cannot rationally be doubted by any educated person.
So, do you? A "yes" or "no" will suffice.
Collins has to be slightly more of a moderate.Francis Collins' view doesn't contradict the evidence nor modern science - why not support it?
