dhw: Why would a God whose only purpose was to design H. sapiens bother to design a sling shot spider? You simply refuse to recognize that it is the COMBINATION of your hypotheses that makes no sense. By all means have your God in total charge designing absolutely everything, but please don’t tell us that he did so for the sole purpose of designing H. sapiens. You have no idea why your God chose to design the slingshot spider as a method of designing H. sapiens - so maybe he didn’t design the spider, or maybe he designed it because he liked designing such wonders for their own sake.

DAVID: You continue your illogical series of ideas about God. If God is in control of evolution then He created everything that appeared before He arrived at the speciation of humans. You are continuing to question why He chose to evolve humans. I don't know why, as I admit. But there is nothing illogical about my thoughts.

dhw: I am not questioning why he chose to evolve humans (if he exists). I am pointing out that your idea of evolution is that your God specially designed absolutely everything, and so I am questioning why he chose to specially design billions of non-human life forms, lifestyles and natural wonders if his only purpose was to specially design humans. You have no idea why, but you still think it’s logical.

Of course it is logical, if one assumes, as I do, that God chose to evolve humans, starting with Archaia 3.8 billion years ago.
