Pelathais,
I have a few comments and questions for you. How do you observe biological evolution?
Survival of the fittest as I understand it has to do with whatever adaptations develop that enable a creature to adapt and survive in its environment. Modification is another word for adapting to your environment like the color of the brown beetle that helped it to survive over the green beetle because it's not eaten when the leaves are not green due to lack of rain. Yet a beetle always reproduces after its kind though there may develop a variety within the same species.
I was limiting miracles to the supernatural. Like God keeping the sun from going down for Joshua, changing water to wine, calming a storm with a verbal command. I think the theory of evolution inhibits folks from believing in the miraculous and supernatural because they look at things from a materialistic/naturalist point of view. I don't see how it can promote theism because it seems to say from the point of a deist that God got creation started with a bang of some sort then sat back and watched the events unfold. Is this what you believe?
How do you know there was death and dying before Adam? What about this verse?
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8: 22
