>We have the ability to construct a mental picture of plausible scenarios
and influence their outcome, which evolution does not do.

Pete, I am in complete agreement with you.  There is no need to try to
convince me that evolution does not have a direction.  It is only selective
breeding that may have a direction.

 >Human creativity is a miracle if there ever was one (some would say it's
just another evolutionary solution to the problem of existence).

Depends upon whether one believes in miracles or not.  I see plenty of
creativity in other animals.  Some humans (but not all) exhibit it to a
greater degree than do say, slugs.
