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.
