dhw: I am aware that you have now rejected your own hypothesis that God might be limited. However, I’m afraid I can see no coherent logic in the hypothesis that God had only one purpose in life, namely to produce humans - which he could do “without any difficulty” - but chose first to specially design millions of other organisms and lifestyles and natural wonders (then get rid of 99% of them), such as the weaverbird’s nest and the monarch’s four-generational migration and the fly’s compound eye, in order to provide energy to keep life going until he produced the one organism he actually wanted to produce.

The issue involved far more evidence than you list. One must look at the end product, the human being: the useful hands, the upright posture, the giant brain with its unexplained consciousness and capacity for complex planning,the rapid evolution when its brother organisms sat still. You either recognize the importance or you sluff it off. I see only purpose and directionality in the history. You are blinded by the side issue of natures wonders and the balance of nature which we agree only supplies energy so evolution can take a long time to reach the end point. Perhaps you should stick with your human chauvinism complaints as an excuse to avoid the obvious.
