David and I are having fun imagining a UI's evolutionary thinking. If I believed in a UI, I would favour the view that either he didn't know where life was heading when he invented it, and experimented as he went along, or he had a plan in mind but didn't know how to achieve it, and so again experimented as he went along. > >

Your scenario doesn't fit our knowledge of evolution. It is a branching tree. To go from amoeba to human is not exactly a straight line, but an explosion of branching limbs, with many cut off by bad luck. But the internal directing mechanisms make the process arrive at US in a resonable time by God's reckoning. Notochords arrive out of nowhere at the Cambrian, and then the process is alot more internally directed than beforehand. We only take 550 million years to pop on the scene, after 3 billion years of unicellar guys and sheets of other folks. Luck is of no issue. All life tries to respond to dangers and survive. That is a characteristic of life, as evolution advances forward into more complex forms. God doesn't have to experiment. The whole system is set up to go forward to us. We are pre-ordained from the beginning, Chixulub or not.
