I generally don't care to play games about creation. I know God created the Universe and how He did it is a mystery and we're smart enough to understand some of how He did it.

If evolution were ever proven beyond any doubt it would not affect my faith in God. Not one bit. I never really understand why this is an issue for the faithful as if their faith hinged on all of these little details.

God is bigger than a bunch of little details.

If a boulder on the top of the hill needs to be in the valley does god just give it a nudge and let it roll down the hill, or does he pick it up and carry it down the mountain one step at a time?

It's actually in philosophy that the theology would play out: if (a) evolution were true, and (b) man was proved to have evolved, then there is no special creation of man. If there is no special creation of man, then man does not bear the image of God. If man does not bear the image of God, then there is no moral imperative against murder, or rape, or respecting property. Therefore, if evolution applies to man then morality does not.

You said ... “God is bigger than a bunch of little details.”

God is certainly bigger than details, but that doesn’t do away with the details and neither does it mean that God is not about exacting - very exacting - detail.

If God wasn’t about VERY EXACTING DETAIL ... even far beyond all the detail we’re able to comprehend — then this universe could not even exist or us in it.
