Now why would a God who was all-powerful enough to have created something (in fact everything) from nothing want to bother with evolution? Doesn't make sense.

And as for your statement that 'evolution still happened' (and making some assumptions about exactly what you mean with this), no intelligent person would argue that change on a radical level isn't happening (past, present and future). What I would argue is that change does not equate to evolution.

Now why would a God who was all-powerful enough to have created something (in fact everything) from nothing want to bother with having humans live out history to face Judgement rather than skip to the end and save a lot of time, since He knows how it will all turn out anyway? Doesn't make sense.

"Now why would a God who was all-powerful enough to have created something (in fact everything) from nothing want to bother with evolution? Doesn't make sense."

The same reason that God needed mud to create Adam, and then needed Adam's rib to create Eve, and then needed men to write the bible, and then needed Noah to build the Arc, and then needed Mary to bear a son... and then... well God in general does a lot of things that don't make sense given that he is supposed to be all powerful.

And what do you mean change doesn't equate to evolution? I get the impression that there is a lack of understanding of evolution on your part.

I've never gotten an adequate explanation from the "God-can-just-blink-stuff-into-existence-and-wouldn't-bother-with-evolution" crowd, so maybe you can help me. Why did God bother with a messy world-wide flood, an appallingly brutal and cruel mass drowning, and a risky scheme to re-poplulate the world from a little-bitty gene pool? Why not just blink out the old and blink in the new?
