Hello Jeanie,

RAZD, Why would you refer to someone referring to something marvelous (as being intelligently designed) as "magic." Miracles aren't magic...just beyond our understanding. Manipulation of matter so to speak. God (The Father and Jesus Christ) have power over the elements.
Because when you appeal to supernatural forces to explain something all you are saying is "and then magic happened" rather than explain what happened.

When CTD says that "Recombination is a design feature. (A marvelous one, to be sure!)" he is saying that it is magic.

Of course, with the FACT that recombination results in dead and disfigured offspring makes one question how well "designed" such a feature actually is, eh?

Enjoy.
