Have at it...

the Lord works in mysterious ways....why not through what we now call evolution.

"I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator." Watch that benevolent part, the God of the Bible is wrathful as well...

David Attenborough, for all his services to natural history and his storied good sense, believes in AGW. It’s his blind spot.

“I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.”

So not crediting God with creation is due to a dislike of God says Attenborough.

Attenborough reveals creationist hate mail for not crediting God

It is quite possible he does receive such hate mail. There are weirdos everywhere. Getting hate tossed one's way does not mean one's points are valid.

[P8riot]

"I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

That's because people try to rationalize God using our own finite standards, instead of recognizing how far we have fallen from His.

[TheKidster]

Science has no facts just theories which haven’t been disproven through the scientific method. For instance our understanding of gravity has been revised recently after new observations gleaned through cosmology.

Anybody who claims there are “facts” instead of theories in science is an idiot. A close minded, earth is flat idiot.

[Antoninus]

"I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

So the man is an atheist, not simply an opponent of young-earth creationism.

To Attenborough in his extreme hubris, I would say: "Where were you when God laid the foundations of the world?"

if man evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

Ha! What a Dummy.
Everyone knows God didn't create the 'Eye Worm', HIV-AIDS, or even Ebola -- The CIA did. Just like the CIA invented Crack and gave it all to blacks for free.

Sheesh. I thought David Attenborough was smart. But that boy's got to spend some time in Rev Wright's 'church'. That'll get his mind right about god and the evils whitey has perpetuated on the black man.

"They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

One would think that those who believe in both God and evolution, wouldn't have a problem with this. After all, evolution is a messy business, and attaching a moral value to a physical process seems a bit odd.

I think Mr Attenborough's objection to God lies somewhere much deeper ...

Since when is a prominent figure receiving “hate mail” newsworthy? They all get that. Slow news day?
