Re: Real effect
I agree with your comments.

But they can be simplified: evolution is 1) opportunistic and 2) uses trial and error feedback.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Interlude
But such unlimited generalization of the term would just be, I think, spreading too little butter over too much toast.

​
I knew a professor once who used, where you are using butter & toast, the term "slicing the baloney thinner."
​
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
