dhw I have long since accepted the science without the religion. I am an agnostic largely because I recognize the scientific case for design but cannot accept the religion.

Tony: Realizing that there is a designer does not require any particular assumptions about the designer.

Sounds just like my thoughts

Dhw I keep repeating that I do mean common descent but NOT random mutations. It is you who insist that evolution means random mutations, but I myself reject randomness, as do theistic evolutionists such as our David.

Tony: Actually, it is the text books that insist on random chance. The mainstream theory of evolution depends o random mutations. I can't comment on the requirements of these unspecified other hypotheses. If you reject chance, congratulations, you are a theist, not agnostic. There is either random chance or design. Naturalism or Theism. Welcome to theistic design.

Yes!
