In other words, you're confusing the intelligence necessary to create the model with the thing itself.
Hi Percy,
Sorry but you are the one who is confused. Paul is right on the money.

It is beside the point that an intelligence designed the computer and the program.
Why is that beside the point? That is entirely the point.
GP merely models the way evolution works.
Creating a computer model takes intelligence, but that doesn't mean that the thing being modelled was designed. We create computer models of many things, like the weather and planetary orbits, and these things were not designed, either.
This is pure assertion without any evidence, as you would say.
In other words, you're confusing the intelligence necessary to create the model with the thing itself.
There is no confusion other than on the part of the evo who insists on denying the intelligence behind the creation. You cannot separate the two. The more you try to prove that a computer model is evidence of evolution the more you prove the ID standpoint because it(the model or program) could not exist without that intelligent intervention. Why can't you see this? I think it is up to you to prove how a model or program could originate w/o any intelligent agent, but you cannot, it is impossible and you know it.
Regards,
S
