I think Jehovah used micro-evolution, all the changes that we do see, but I do not think that he used macro-evolution(Allowed for small variation and adaptation, but no speciation). I also don't think that he intentionally created the illusion of macro-evolution, but rather that the appearance of it is the natural result of the step-wise creative process that he went through to create the universe and the earth. Instead of the illusion of evolution, I prefer to consider it as the assumption of evolution; a self-delusion fueled by an desire to defame/eliminate the knowledge of God and bypass the influence that religion has/had on the political sphere. -I think that is quite clear and thank you. You believe in a form of direct action by God, as the Bible indicates. That is what I thought you were expressing. You may well be correct.
