What does It matter how God decided to go about things. The fact is he did. That’s good enough for me.

Because God created which is in opposition to evolution. Evolution mandates random mutations that are accepted by the species. Natures shows mutations to be eradicated by the species. One primary difference in these philosophies is the distinction between "mutation" and "adaptation". Evolutionists herald mutation as the answer to variations within a species whereas Creationists proclaim adaptation.

Indeed, the sting is in the word “random.” That this was something that somehow dumb matter could do without need of a providence.

One has to reduce existence to some gargantuan dice game to make such a theory fly. It vitiates the proffered philosophy.

Yep.

Years ago, I thought of “engineered adaptability” as a phrase to describe the variations that one observes when a habitat changes and the animals have to adapt.

I have no idea if it was an original phrase or not.
