Hoss,
Natural selection is hard to refute inasmuch as there is irrefutable
evidence of endangerment, if not complete extinction, of several species.
Although I cannot speak for anyone else at my church regarding their opinion
concerning the definition of Darwinism, by my comment I meant that neither I
nor anyone attending church with me (as far as I know) believe that God used
or uses natural selection or any other means to catalyze genetic mutation
resulting in the development of one species from another.
