A friend of mine who is devoutly Catholic came up to me and said, "Before you misunderstand me any further, I want you to know that I believe in the theory of evolution. However, you should also know that I think evolution is like God's tool for creating life- It's like God is using evolution as a tool to create new life forms."
I replied that there was no evidence to support the idea that there is an actor controlling the process of evolution, but (as usual) he smacked it down on grounds of faith. I know an argument to faith is absurd, but is there any other way to convince him of this, or is it pointless?
