Re: What prevents evolution?
I basically agree with what NR said (as usual), especially his last line. To phrase it slightly differently, the (intelligent) theist argument says that your conditions a,b,c, and d were created by God as part of intelligent design.
The problems arise when scientists claim that chance is an inherent component of the universe. I think NR is saying that "atheistic evolution" is evolution plus a belief about the primality of chance. This combination is not science, and when scientists claim it is, I believe they should have their credentials revoked for not understanding what science is and is not capable of establishing.
