1. Evolution is not a blind process as Dawkins suggested.
You have been shown repeatedly that it is a completely blind process without guidance or direction of any kind. It's a process that operates independent of a guiding hand, independent of any goals.
Quote:2. God or any other sufficient intellect, can use evolution to create specific forms by designing the fitness paradigm(or selection criterion or what ever you want to call it).
You have not shown that, only asserted it as an opinion. There is no evidence that providing certain environments will give you exactly the species you want with the exact DNA you want. Even species that are similar cannot breed with each other in many cases.
What would be the purpose of this, anyway? Which species does god want to create, and which ones is he okay with throwing by the way side? Because natural selection favors certain animals over others. What's the goal? If there is a god "using" evolution to shape animals, why is he/she/it doing it?
