I think biologists are generally saying B, but it’s often mistaken for A. I think Ashwin_s is taking the A statement to be implied by the B statement.

Sounds about right, though sometimes some say A when they really mean B, and are easy to correct on this. Non-scientists with an anti-religious agenda? That’s when it get difficult.

@Rumraket I think I would probably state your points in a different way too, but I think we are on the same page.

The key point is that there is a lot of evidence for evolution, but science doesn’t tell us if God was involved or if his involvement was necessary. Science doesn’t answer questions like that, and evolutionary science doesn’t rule out God.
