    Howard postes: "The question is, did the Creator give the Creation
    sufficient formational capabilities for discovering/actualizing the
    requisite proteins for life, or did the Creator have to step in
    occasionally to bridge gaps (the consequence of missing formational
    capabilities) in the Creation's formational economy by coercing the
    requisite atoms to assume a particular protein structure?"

    I will argue that the above is NOT the question. Or, if it is, it is
    posed in such a way to beg the question in favor of Howard's position.

    Let me see if I can rephrase it neutrally:

    The question is, did the Creator give the Creation sufficient formational
    capabilities for discovering/actualizing the requisite proteins for life,
    or did the Creator choose to modify the Creation over time, in the sense
    that a violin maker might choose to build a "perfect" violin which could
    only be apprehended as perfect when he played it."

    I'm not really sure that's neutral -- it may be biased as much towards
    the opposite of Howard's position as I perceived his statement to be
    towards his.
