Convoluted human evolution: Speedy HARs (Introduction)

BBELLA: “Whether there are many more questions that will never be asked or many more answers than can ever be found, it doesnt automatically mean there's a God that designed it all which holds all the answers. But not sayin' there aint, not sayin' there is.”-dhw: Even if there is a God, that is no reason for assuming that he directly designed every innovation and natural wonder. He could have given the first life forms the instinct for survival and improvement, plus the means of pursuing those two purposes. Why must every new step require his personal attention? As we have seen throughout our long discussions on God and evolution, with all the intellectual contortions necessitated by your anthropocentric slant on the process, that raises far more questions than it answers. But of course, I acknowledge that unanswerable questions are the raison d'être for this forum.-It's great to have you back!-DAVID: Thank you. I still believe the preponderance of evidence points to a mind behind all of reality, but we shall keep presenting evidence that I find.-But believing in a mind behind reality is not the same as believing that such a mind directly designed every innovation and natural wonder, and in the context of evolution, that is what BBella and I are disputing.
