Return to David's theory of evolution PART 1 (Evolution)

DAVID: You simply will not accept my view that God did all of this.

dhw: Did all of what? I do not accept that an all-powerful God who apparently has only one purpose (to design us and our food) would first of all individually design countless life forms and foods that had no connection with us!

Again your reasoning against God's. I fully accept it as God's choice of method.

DAVID: God can do it any way He wishes for His own unknown reasons.

dhw: Agreed. But you keep insisting that “it” = his only purpose (to design humans plus our food), and he does “it” by designing countless life forms that have no connection with humans plus our food. You can find no reason why he should fulfil such a purpose in such a way, but you kid yourself that this is “history”. It’s not. It is an illogical interpretation of history for which you can find no explanation.

It is your illogical interpretation. View it as God's choice of method for His own reasons. An indesputable point.>

DAVID: My view is if life started in the Hadean period of chaos on early Earth, it had to have very tough aspects of its resistence to adversity. That life is here is a miracle I would attribute to a designing God.

dhw: I agree with most of this, and I certainly can’t discount God as the designer of the original cells. But your theory that all these life forms were “absolute requirements” for humans? Nah, I can’t buy that.

DAVID: What will it take to open up the cement strangling your concepts of evoution?

dhw: I have offered several theistic concepts of evolution, each of which fits in logically with the history of life as we know it. You have offered one, which is so illogical that according to you it “makes sense only to God”. Please ask yourself the question you have asked me.

God can choose any method of creation He wishes for His own reasons. Deny that.
