Genome complexity: we survive constant mutations (Introduction)

DAVID: God has purpose. He desired humans, as I view us a step beyond the rest of evolution. See the video I entered today. We live in the mind of God.

dhw: If God exists, of course he has purpose. I agree that in terms of our consciousness we are a step beyond the rest of evolution. We may even be the result of a special dabble. I just don’t buy the hypotheses that a) every innovation, lifestyle and natural wonder had to be specially designed, and b) that all of them were geared to the production of your brain and mine. The video says nothing about the mind of God. It even suggests that we are the only observers. And frankly I have to admit that I am firmly convinced you exist and would continue to exist even if I popped off tomorrow.

DAVID: We've been over this before. The bush of life creates the balance of nature which supplies energy for evolution to last a very long time. An energy supply is required to maintain life preserve itself.

Yes indeed, life can’t go on without food. Nothing at all to do with (a) God having to design every single innovation, lifestyle and natural wonder himself, or (b) all of these being geared to the production of your brain and mine. We are in agreement.
