> dhw:1) God said, "Let there be flycatching sundews" and there were flycatching sundews. For although God's purpose was to create humans, flycatching sundews were also his purpose.-God's purpose was to produce inventive life. Flycatching was a by-product-
> 
> dhw:2) God preprogrammed the first living cells to pass on the blueprint for flycatching sundews. For although God's purpose was to create humans, flycatching sundews were also his purpose.-See my answer above
> 
> dhw:3) God saw a non-flycatching sundew and thought, "Although my purpose is to create humans, flycatching sundews are also my purpose." And thus did God fiddle with the non-flycatching sundew's genome so that it did become a flycatching sundew.-God did not have to fiddle. The genome did it all by itself, it was so smart given the information god implanted into DNA in the beginning.
 
> 
> dhw:4) God invented a mechanism called "the intelligent genome". There was once a non-flycatching sundew with an especially intelligent genome which invented a flycatching process, whereby it turned into a flycatching sundew. Flycatching sundews have survived to this day, thus proving that God's purpose was to create flycatching sundews. (There was once a unilobite with an especially intelligent genome which invented a complex eye, whereby it turned into a trilobite, and for millions of years the trilobites survived. But then something nasty happened and there were no trilobites with genomes intelligent enough to adapt. And so they died out, thus proving that God's purpose was and was not to create trilobites.-Natural selection was God's gift to Darwin. It sorts out life's good attempts from the bad attempts. As you see life is programmed to produce complexity

>dhw: 5) As in 4), except that the "intelligent genome" just happened to assemble itself by sheer luck, and has continued its experiments ever since, thus creating a higgledy-piggledy bush of extant flycatching sundews and extinct trilobites.-Sheer luck and chance are the pipedream of atheists

> dhw: 6) As in 4), except that the "intelligent genome" was assembled through experiments carried out by chemicals intelligently combining, just as their invention the cell later combined intelligently with other cells, thus creating a higgledy-piggledy bush of extant flycatching sundews and extinct trilobites. -How much intelligence does your table salt have?

> dhw;And now, David, it's your turn to tell us a just-so story.-And I have just shown why I do not believe in just-so stories. Kipling was the master and his tongue was in his cheek!-The real point is that DNA is programmed to experiment and create natures wonders as I have demonstrated on this website for many years. In my estimation God has been sitting back watching all of this and proud of His invention, since humans appeared just as He knew they would at some point. Now that is the real just-so story.
