David's theory of evolution Part Two (Evolution)

DAVID: And we resulted from His controlled evolution of the universe.

dhw; So did every other organism that ever lived. But do please explain your theory concerning the purpose of all the other galaxies and solar systems that must have died out billions of years before our own little patch came into being.

I admit I cannot know the reasoning behind God's purpose in evolving our universe in such a huge form. But He had it produce a huge galaxy of the Milk Way by absorbing smaller satellites which allowed for Earth to appear in an outer quiet area. That fits your worries.

dhw: What follows is your usual effort to divert attention away from the contradictory details of your theory to vague generalizations which in themselves are logical. I can only take them one by one.

DAVID: But I have used my reasoning: I have presented to you the top predator scientific studies, well-proven. [..] we are the top, and evolution is undoubtedly over with us in total control, if we don't destroy everything, which we now can.

dhw: There is no dispute over the concept of top predators, or that we now have that role. This does not explain why your all-knowing God designed 3.X billion years’ worth of econiches with their own top predators in order to fill in the time until he designed us, although we were apparently his aim from the very start.

DAVID: A non-answer. Evolution as a method requires what you complain about.

dhw; A non-answer. Evolution as a method does not require the special design of millions of non-human forms for the sole purpose of designing one human form.

Evolution requires lots of time from bacteria to humans; history shows it. And once again you skip the requirement that all stages of animal evolution have to eat someone as evolution proceeds. Instant creation provides nothing by humans as cannibals.

DAVID: Adler's reasoning and that view make an insurmountable argument.

dhw: You have told us that Adler uses humans as evidence for God’s existence, not as evidence for your theory of evolution, which is the subject of this thread.

DAVID: I'm entitled to use Adler's reasoning as I see fit to understand God's use of evolution.

dhw: You’re entitled to say anything you like (as long as it’s not libellous), but that does not make your theory logical, and it does not mean even that Adler would support your theory, apart from the specialness of humans as evidence for the existence of God.

Twisting things again . My theory of how God runs evolution is all guesswork. My basic belief is God evolves each level of His creation. He is the only one who understands his 'how'.
