Genome complexity: epigenetics in action (Introduction)

dhw:The point at issue is not lack of purpose, but your dogmatic claim that humans were your God’s ONLY PURPOSE and “everything else” was related to that. I absolutely do not agree with the purpose you have assigned to the energy supply! Your God is apparently now saying to himself: “All I want to do is produce humans, which I can do without difficulty, but first I’ll design the weaverbird’s nest and lots and lots of other natural wonders, so that it will take me a long time to produce the only thing I really want to produce.” I’m sorry, but this sounds pretty silly to me.

What a convoluted interpretation: God's primary choice in creating humans may or may not have required a long time. It is entirely possible that God decided to take a while in getting there by slowly (in human terms) evolving humans. He might have been able to do it whenever He wanted, which appears to be Tony's view. This is why we have discussed pre-programming, dabbling , or limitations. We see the history, but when we plug in God's possible actions without Biblical interpretation we have no clear indisputable answer, and so we debate, each from a different viewpoint. I've deleted your further restatement of your comment as this answer suffices.
