dhw: But my main concern is the usual one: why on Earth would your God have specially designed the strategy and the organ when all he really wanted to do was create humans? See the “goldylocks” and “asteroid” threads for the implications.

DAVID: The problem for you is chance can't design that fly or its eye. And the fly fits into its natures balance niche which keeps life going until evolution reaches humans. All simple concepts to comprehend.

Chance is not a problem if cell communities have the intelligence (perhaps God-given) to do their own inventing. The problem for you is that it makes no sense for God to design the fly’s eye and hunting strategy if his aim was to produce humans, unless you opt for the theory that although he was perfectly capable of designing every organ, limb and strategy under the sun, the one thing he couldn’t do for 3.X billion years was the one thing he wanted to do: enlarge the pre-human brain.
