Evolution took a long time (Introduction)

DAVID: Your theistic inventive mechanism constitutes a judgement of God's software writing ability: You want organisms to use His IM sequentially to conduct evolution and I think He could have written the software for all of it from the very beginning. Not double standards but two differing judgments of God's ability.

dhw: My hypothesis has absolutely nothing to do with God’s capabilities. I am simply looking for the most likely explanation of how evolution works, and my theistic version seems to me more logical and infinitely less convoluted than yours. Ah well, this makes a change from the argument that mine is unacceptable because there is no evidence for it, whereas yours is acceptable even though there is no evidence for it. (Double standards.)

Since the full scope of God's abilities are not known to either of us, each of us is allowed to have our own concept of those abilities. No double standard, just a difference in opinion. I am allowed to differ from your approach from the picket fence.
