dhw: You never stop dodging. For the ad nauseamth time: If humans were his goal, why did he specially design countless life forms that had no connection with humans? If he was capable of designing completely new life forms without any precursors, why didn’t he produce sapiens directly? Your answer: “No idea. Go and ask God.” Yes, if God exists, our reality is his creation. But your theory concerning what he wanted to create and how he created it makes no sense even to you. This discussion should end here.

DAVID: Of course it can end. The bold makes perfect sense to me. God chose to evolve us. So quit bugging me.

I bug you because you resolutely ignore the two questions, or you agree that you can’t see the logic either, and yet you still insist that your theory is right and refuse to consider alternatives. The rest of this post repeats your evasion of the questions.

DAVID: My explanation is simple. God does what God wants to do and He evolved us from bacteria. Live with it and we can move on to other topics.

dhw: Omissions: God’s sole purpose was to design us and our food, but before designing us, he designed countless life forms that had no connection with us. You don’t know why. God had the power to design new life forms from scratch (with no precursors), but although we were his only purpose, he designed a whole collection of precursors for us. You don’t know why. But you believe your theory is logical.

Still trying to confuse the issue are you? You want me to explain God's logic. We start knowing what God did since God created all history. We see the evolution of life from Archaea to us. We humans are a very unusual and highly unlikely result if natural forces were at work. Therefore God intended to produce us. Why He chose the known historical method was His choice. It is God's right to chose His method. I cannot know His reasons. It is you who question His logic. I accept it. It is your problem for which I cannot offer help.
