Elliott Sober on Evolution and God

"Evolutionary theory, properly understood, does not conflict with the idea that God occasionally intervenes in nature – for example, by once or twice causing a beneficial mutation to occur. Biologists have not detected any such interventions despite the data and theory they have assembled about mutation. However, I think it is a mistake to expect biological experiments to be able to detect such one-off acts of divine intervention, especially if those acts occurred in the distant past. Science isn’t in that line of work." http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/biological-point-view/
