Closer to reality is something like this..
1) Christians believe that all things exist because of God.
2) Over time, science explains the mechanisms by which this existence operates.
3) Christian thinkers affirm this and find it totally unsurprising. Things like those referenced in Mog's original post are totally in keeping with what our understanding already was and has been for more than 500 years. It's interesting at the least, possibly very beneficial to humanity at best. Great to hear!

So the notion of man being created "in God's image" wasn't taken to mean his physical image before Darwin? |
No, it was not. That God was not a bearded dude in the sky who we 'look' like is at least as old as Christianity (actually much older).
In truth, there are only two kinds of people; those who accept dogma and know it, and those who accept dogma and don't know it.
