First off, evolution qua evolution tells you nothing about "how it got started" as a broader metaphysical issue. Secondly, ignoring the nonsense of the idea of anything "supernatural," it's entirely possible--that is as a logical possibility--for there to be a God who set up a world where evolution was a non-necessary natural possibility (where it contingently turned out to obtain), and it's possible for evolution to have be set in motion via some supernatural means (again, ignoring whatever the heck "supernatural" is supposed to amount to, exactly), where it turns out that there's no entity like a god. So you're not at all exhausting the logical possibilities in your comment above. Aside from that, "miracle" is just a vague fantasy idea, so it's vacuous to say that anything would be "akin to a miracle" with respect to any concrete properties, and the notion of calculating "the chances of x occurring ," where there's no actual frequency data for multiple instantiations is just as much complete balderdash. (And even if there were frequency data, it doesn't necessarily follow that it signifies anything other than what contingently happened in those instances.) So it's just ignorant nonsense to believe that evolution says anything about whether there's a god or not. LOL Why I bother typing all of something like that when you just respond like a befuddled imbecile, I don't know. Wish I could talk to you in person because then at least you couldn't just ignore stuff, just saunter off when you don't get something.
