For scientists who believe God guides genetic adaptation...?
If God guides genetic adaptation, how exactly does he do it? Did he set up the conditions for evolution to occur very early on and then let it "run" without interfering?
Or does he occasionally stick his finger in the gene pool and cause something to happen that otherwise wouldn't?
If God does not interfere in evolutionary (adaptive) processes and lets adaptations and natural selection occur without interference, then how is this different than Deism?
If God does interfere in evolutionary (adaptive) processes, then how can genetic experiments be trusted to remain free of God's meddling to yeild accurate results?
I'm posting this on R/S instead of biology because of the earlier post on this general topic.

Good question. Why has that neurological gene on my mother's side been passed through her mother to her, my sister and myself? We all had/have head tremors and other central nervous system problems.
In my case, it lead to petit mal seizures.
Some handiwork, as I am very limited in motor skills thanks to genetics. I'm glad my brain works, at least.

This is a natural evolutionary process and the Nature adjusts to the need, devoid of God's hand.
