re: #275 Occasional Reader

Evolution is a “process”. What does an omnipotent being need with a “process”? Especially one that results in the extinction of, what is it, 99% of all species that ever lived.

Of course, I have no god in this fight (etc.).

Maybe his use of the process and our discovering of that process is supposed to point us to Him. Maybe He knew that humans would naturally evolve to be incredibly curious creatures and needed something to keep them occupied. I don’t know about you but life as a scientist would be pretty boring if there was overwhelming evidence that the earth was 6000 years old and was created in 6 days. Finally, I really believe He wanted belief in Him to be a choice, not a forced decision. For me, the examination of science including evolution points to the creativity and the intelligence of God.
