I have had a question about what is called "evolution" for a long time.
In biology we are taught that species have a certain # of chromosome pairs in their DNA.
How did species evolve "naturally" and change the qty of chromosomes? How could this be?
Maybe there's an explanation, but I don't know it myself.
Anyway, I don't see "evolution" quite the way it's presented. I think it's perfectly plausible God did indeed "evolve" things - but He did it His way, either forcing His own breeding plans to happen and create new things by mutation, or even periodically creating things out of thin air while others had existed for eons, and likewise killing off some. I don't know. But I don't accept that "evolution" could happen totally w/o God's interference. Heck, I don't even know how life could start at all w/o Him.
Why would God bother? If this is the way it happened, it suggests that God applied trial-and-error to the rise of species. If he couldn't get it right the first time, but had to "tinker" to give rise to the lifeforms He wanted, this brings into question the concept of an all-knowing, all-powerful God.
Excellent post.
I think God built it all into the fabric of the universe in the very instant of the Big Bang and hasnt done anything to assist it since. Sort of an incredible cosmic 5 bank corner shot on a long table with the eyes closed.
But yeah, He is that good.
