DAVID: We humans are a very unusual and highly unlikely result if natural forces were at work. Therefore God intended to produce us.

dhw: But you say that all species, lifestyles and natural wonders are so special that your God must have designed them, including all those species and foods that had no connection with us and our foods, and including the weaverbird’s nest. Therefore, if he really did design them all, he intended to design them all. So back we go to the same question: if his ONLY intention was to design us, why did he design all the rest?

Your constant complaint is God's actions in evolution are illogical to you. You are comparing your human logic to God's logic and finding fault with His. God has His own reasons for evolving us by designed stages from bacteria. Since I believe God created all of history in making this reality, I find no reason to question the history He created. You start from a position of no God at all, and then step in to try and interpret a God's actions. My only interpretation of God's history is to follow Adler's approach, that we are so unusual a result from evolution, we must have been intended to appear by God. And in that way our appearance is a proof of God, since we cannot be the result of a natural process. And along the way you constantly ignore the necessity for food issue, which requires the huge varied bush of life providing the highly organized ecosystems that supply the food for all, until I force the issue. But that doesn't make you backtrack from your constant illogical complaining about God's logic that you call illogical..
