Darwinist ignorance, confusion & epigenetics (Introduction)

BBELLA: And another thought, maybe the creator got bored of speaking to only himself and said, I will create something to talk to? Sounding more and more like Genesis all over again. Oh well!-This is very much what lies behind the various attempts some of us have been making to understand the mind of God. If he did create life, he must have had a reason. Boredom seems to me as good a reason as any. I see no harm at all in such speculation, since all of us are trying to understand the nature of the world we live in, and I for one can't believe in something that doesn't make sense to me (e.g. an unfathomably complex mechanism that builds itself by sheer chance, an all-good God who creates evil, a master plan that relies on luck to achieve its specific goal). David says we can't think like God, but as I keep repeating, it's not unreasonable to believe that the creature reflects the creator. How could God create consciousness, the power of reason, joy, sadness,love, boredom, if he had no inkling of such things? So, BBella, think more thoughts!
