My theory is that God created life in a much more elegant manner: by creating the natural process that resulted in life.

In Genesis, God creates by executive fiat - "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass." So God created grass in the same sense and in the same way that Caesar built a bridge across the Rhine. It's in the Book.

I disagree with that, but many see it the way you do, to each his own.
