DAVID: dhw has constantly complained about my theory that God had a purpose to produce humans and a proper food supply as a goal after starting life by evolving humans and a huge bush of life for human food. A reason is here:

QUOTE: "In the hustle and bustle of modern existence, it can be all too easy to skip a meal or two. You might even do it deliberately. A new study suggests going without one of the standard three meals a day might have a serious downside.”

DAVID: we don't know why God wanted to create us, but He knew what our food supply had to be adequate, so the huge bush of life had to be created with us. dhw is simply illogical.

This must be the silliest headline and distortion in the history of the AgnosticWeb. All organisms have to have food. What I constantly complain about is your theory that your God’s only purpose for starting life was to produce humans plus food but he then proceeded to design countless numbers of life forms, 99% OF WHICH DID NOT LEAD TO HUMANS PLUS FOOD BUT WERE, ACCORDING TO YOU, “DEAD ENDS”. “MISTAKES”, “WRONG CHOICES” AND “FAILED EXPERIMENTS”. According to you, the huge present bush which provides us with our food descended from the 1% of his past designs which were not dead ends, mistakes, wrong choices, and failed experiments. This excellent article tells us why we need three meals a day. It does not tell us that an all-powerful God had to design the brontosaurus plus millions and millions of extinct dead ends, mistakes, wrong choices and failed experiments in order to design us and our food. I am embarrassed for your sake to leave this for people to read. If you wish, I can use my editorial powers to delete your post and this response – but I’ll leave them if you want me to.
