why would God Need to “use” “evolution” having created the entire universe.
micro evolution mutants are usually degenerate...
and if God used “evolution” as In macro evolution...
why would God have chosen to Gamble??
Things change.
However things are now, they changed from something before.
Some of us would like to understand what things were like, and how they changed to what they are now.
Looking at fossils, things were very different at some point in the past; evolution is the best sensible guess we have at what was then and how it all got to now.
Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s wrong, and doesn’t mean what happened didn’t happen.
“using evolution as a mechanism ...”
I don’t think the scriptures allow that possibility, but natural selection within species is evident and possible.
Best
Who am I to know God’s reasoning behind the universe? All I can do is look at what is, and based on that make a sensible theory about how it got that way. As an engineer, I create things that have a starting configuration and proceed on their own to a ready state; makes sense to me that God do the same, rather than build it all already “in flight”.
I would certainly think that as God controls everything... Atoms... Molecules DNA...which is not a simple clump of jelly....he could do virtually anything.
Inventing Gravity comes to mind, and as Im sure youre aware we still dont even know what gravity is.
This was alleged to be some very impressive evidence for evolution. Most people who believe macro-evolution have this idea that there is all this impressive proof, like this experiment was alleged to be. People hear this stuff and think evolution is a fact but it isn’t.
Your analogy with the crazed gunman and this experiment makes no sense.
Can you actually identify anything wrong with what he said? That’s a rhetorical question.
LOL
Tactic? Club? What? He analyzed the results of the experiment. Why is that a problem for you?
You sound like what the climate alarmists talk about global warming skeptics.
Alternate theory?
Just more wheel spinning.
Your arguments are weak, misdirected and illogical.
If you accept the loss of information as evolution, you’re going to have to start calling it devolution.

two words: irreducible complexity
Freegards
Devolution as a theory has more merit for me. The evidence seems to be saying we are losing genetic information and species, not gaining....................
When researchers first described this development in 2012, they speculated that mutations constructed new and complicated cellular machinery,
It show’s lack of thinking for “new and complicated cellular machinery.”
When I came through school in the ancient days, this was called gene expression. The information was there but for some reason expressed.....................
The question then became, what is causing it to be expressed.
.
Absolutely correct!
Men have lost about half of their cognitive capacity over the last 6000 years.
Just look at how much more intelligent the apostles were, and that is just 2000 years.
.
bkmk
Yet we’re the ones sending probes past Pluto and they were sitting around in huts.
.
Boring!
They lived almost 1000 years, and knew that sending probes to Pluto was an absurd waste of money and time.
And nobody knows what they lived in.
It was the pagans like yourself that were living in the huts.
