dhw: You usually use it as a contrast to your God’s purposefulness. It doesn’t matter. You are merely confirming your fixed belief that your God deliberately designed every dead end, knowing that it would not lead to the fulfilment of his one and only goal. Why would he do that? Only God knows – it certainly doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

DAVID: When you finally find out God's reasoning, tell me and the whole world!!

dhw: Nobody knows the objective truth, but different people offer different theories. We then discuss them to see how convincing they are. Your theory doesn’t even make sense to you, so I really don’t know why you’ve convinced yourself that it must be true and God must have his reasons for acting in such a nonsensical manner.

My theory makes sense to me and you tell me it doesn't? How do you read my mind? What a God does is perfect, making perfect sense to Him. Which means I trust in God and accept what
He has done. He evolved humans from Archaea. It had what you think are messy dead ends. Any type of evolutionary process will necessarily have dead ends. Your objection boils down to God stupidly decided to evolve us.

dhw: There is nothing wrong with the theory of experimentation – you have already agreed that it fits in logically with the history of life, as do my other alternatives. You reject them all because their “humanizations” are different from your “humanizations”. The fact that experimentation fits in with your concept of “design theory” is simply an additional observation, and we can leave it at that.

DAVID: Finally. It has all been repetitious for both of us and our followers.

dhw: At least it's good to know that the experimentation theory fits in with your own concept of design.

Considering some alternatives at the start of presenting design is at a human level. God, as a perfect mind, knows exactly what to do and how to do it at the start. But not your humanized form.

dhw: Sadly, though, it won’t end the repetitive discussion concerning why you think your God would have deliberately designed all the dead ends which had nothing to do with what you believe was his sole purpose (us and our food). See your non-stop dodging on the “More miscellany” thread.

I am convinced I give you very direct answers. You ended this discussion. I agreed, and back again you go. The main problem is your definition of possible Gods is not mine. Mine is pure perfection, no need for experimenting, just as a starter example.
