A statement to the effect that "This step in evolution can be
explained as the result of intervention by a pre-existing
intelligence.", would be one way to invoke God in the
context of biology.
Since no one suggested that as a teaching ...
Until now, I hadn't been able to deduce what you would have
a teacher say. Thanks for clearing that up below.
More honestly put, the teacher could say that we can't
account for some mechanisms with natural explanations,
even life itself, but we hope to someday. However, there
are some scientists that believe in a purposeful design.
What defintion of "purposeful design" should the teacher give
the class?
Design that appears to be beyond random chance, such as
matter, cosmic forces and life forms.
Is the context that matter, cosmic forces,
and life forms are are a sort of design? That is not consistant
with any definition of 'design' that I know.
Or is the context that matter, cosmic forces, and life forms
are a sort of random chance? But that isn't consistant with
any definition of 'chance' that I know.
In additon to resolving that abiguity, I think you need to work
on that definition a little. Especially the part about 'cosmic
forces' WTF are they?
Your definitions differ widely from the English language
that I know. No wonder you didn't follow it too well.
