In a way I agree. I makes no difference to me what method God used. However, what we have learned over the last few decades, and the last 15 years in particular, in the fields of microbiology, quantum physics, and astrophysics has just crushed random chance (evolution) as a viable theory. The hard science doesn't support it and the math doesn't support it.
This biologist is just desperately trying to hang on to his "religion". He might as well declare that it is a "fact" that the earth is flat.
Get a grip. The smoking gun proof that humans share a common ancestor with primates is contained in your very own DNA. There were rare pre-historic viral infections in our common ancestor that have left remnants in the DNA of primates and humans. The only possible explanation is a common ancestor.
As far "math doesn't support it", those efforts by creationists are based on wild assumptions that are invalid.
You want some math?
Here's a little example from Ichneumon of how evolution theory speeds up random processes by a factor of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Read it. It's pretty interesting.
