I'm saying it is not explicable merely in terms of the laws of physics and chemistry. It is only "natural" in that it is observable and repeatable. But it is not natural in the sense that the formation of crystals is a natural process.

So let me get this straight, in clear and unambiguous language. Going back to me, since I was that baby in the womb. Did I grow and develop in mum's womb as part of a natural process or not? I'm confused now and my mum's going nuts.

Your mother played a very limited role other than to act as the vehicle for your creation. The genes from her and your papa provided the information for the production of the proteins that make up 50% of your body and which are necessary for its development and operation. But the direction and organization in the formation of you as a zygote through to an embryo and baby was controlled by a divine agency. Let us throw away our copies of the "Selfish Gene" and open up our Bibles:

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

So you see, creationism does not entail believing that species were poofed into existence 6000 years ago but that each and every one of us has been specially created by God. When you realize this, you will stop thinking of Jehovah as a fascist cunt who kills homosexuals and the like, but rather as the One to whom you owe your life and happiness.
