[QUOTE="glass, post: 8848009, member: 12251"] I have strongly disagreed with pretty much everything you have said in this thread, and with hindsight, I have maybe been a little harsh in expressing that. But this OTOH, I completely agree with! With my homebrew setting, every character picks a Culture in addition to their Species/Ancestry/whatever, and which separates out things like languages, weapon training, and other non-inborn characteristics. TBF you're right, in rebutting your claim I overstated my case. What I should have said was that you [I]can [/I]have evolution in the presence of active divinities, not that you necessarily [I]do[/I]. Either way, the presence of active divinities who can do create species from whole cloth do not prove that evolution by means of natural selection is not also occurring. The ways that they are (in some settings) unalike are not ways that would matter or even be noticeable to the vast majority of people. [/QUOTE]
