Still dodging. Do you think some mystical being is in charge of the whole shooting match? If so, why do you think that?

You have a nice life, you hear? And come back when you're more comfortable talking about your Great Sky Fairy. If ever.

When I ask you for your evidence in support of that all I'm going to hear is echoes, right? But, please, do tell how the Great Sky Fairy works in mysterious ways. Like changing that chromosome.

That's good, as you can't supply an answer. I ask questions you can't answer, and that must be endlessly irritating. Worse, you know that my questions are important and devastating to the Faithfuls' position. That's why you get grumpy.
The Great Sky Fairy is as accurate a name as any other for the supernatural being required for the Faithful to feel safe and cozy in the big, bad universe.
Evolution is demonstrable to the point where nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution. Evolution is a fact. Unlike the Faithful, we mere mortal don't know everything, so the exact mechanism of evolution is still being studied. And that's the difference between science and Faith. We keep studying, learning, and asking more questions. With Faith you have hit a wall that you'll never get past.

"When i talk about dimensions and time you think i am talking about God as if he was a person or a tooth fairy. I am talking about God as a source."
Then you have your own definitions of words and there lies communication failure. You insist on the Great Sky Fairy being involved, but you can't show how, we must go on "faith". You aren't persuasive enough to convince me, sorry. Try converting some Krishnas.

When it comes to religion and the Bible. It also takes about evolution.
Its just that the bible use different words.
Like: God formed Adam out of clay. When God forms and shapes something he is also putting things together. Adam didn't just pop up from nowhere.

True, Adam didn't pop up from nowhere. He never existed.

"I know because you think Adam came from a chimp. And that's what you think because that's what you read. I read the same thing."
I don't think Adam came from a chimp, I think he was a wholly made up story told around a camp-fire in the Bronze Age.
"You use modern definitions to subscribe that the bible is wrong.
Modern science have different names put on the different stages of human involvement. The Bible just uses Adam. There is nothing wrong with that."
You're making up your definitions as you go along, aren't you? You are vainly struggling to justify your position on this and it's just not working. How elastic is your faith? You've certainly stretched it all out of shape.
