In the context of the thread we are interested in the entire body of theory which points to the apparent design through automatically, rather than intelligently guided development.
This is not a lesson in the origin of words, but the origin of species.
The literal meaning gives a completely false view point.
When you unroll a scroll you are revealing what is preordained by the fact that the text is already written. Evolution is about the way species respond from changes in the environment via variation and mutation to produce novel adaptations and new species.

If there is no force opposing entropy why is heat death so far off and only a theory at that? Why do we see evolutionary convergence? Why after each mass extinction does life return more complex, more experiential and more intelligent forms re-emerge? — prothero

Evolution literally means "to roll out of." — Jon

I'm talking about the universe, not the activities of a few smart monkeys. — charleton

Biodynamics is a tiny part of nature. No idea why you want to take that route. — charleton

Either take the word of a bunch of half illiterate post neolithic goat herders and their myths, or look at the world as we know it. The book came about because people wrote down the myths of their culture — charleton

You are taking a view of god through the BOOK "of god"; but this is a human creation.. — charleton

You need to open thebook of nature to really see what is going on. — charleton

How could God create imperfection? — bahman
