Evolution:
Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.

True evolution would be "naturally" evolving. But if God was involved, orchestrating creation, now we're talking supernatural, and no longer natural.

If scientist were then to come to the theory that another intelligence was involved with our development, then the theory of evolution would be very small and meaningless to the MUCH MUCH larger question. WHO DESIGNED AND CREATED US. With that, the thought of random "laws of nature" would be irrelevant. The "laws of nature" would have been put in place, which then means they could be taken out of place.

Now if someone accepts evolution without God. There is no higher power involved with creation. Which means that there is no God. Which means that there is no one that you or I need to answer to. Which means that any and all religions are useless and a waste of time.

Now some people accept this. And thats fine. But with that, they then have to accept they don't have to answer to anyone and no one has to answer to them. Including spouses or children. After all by what grounds does one develope their moral or societal authority. That would mean that if someone were stronger or faster or smarter than someone else, they could do or take whatever they wanted.

And finally, with evolution, and no God, there is one final conclusion. You and I are nothing more than a compilation of matter. We have absolutely no value, except for the approximately $1.00 that we value our basic material. Your life and my life don't matter. Once we die thats it. Nada. Our legacy's will have no meaning. Why? Because the people that we would be leaving our legacy's to, don't matter either. Nothing in life, that we hold dear, would mean anything at all. All we would be is an aborition of nature. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.

Now if we look at life created by God, we HAVE to be in awe of all of creation, simply because it didn't just happen. And couldn't JUST happen. And we can't recreate it. Not from absolutly nothing.

Lastly if God created the entire universe, there is an important question. WHY? To sustain life? Then the most important question is. Why did God create man? More specifally you or I.

True evolution would be "naturally" evolving. But if God was involved, orchestrating creation, now we're talking supernatural, and no longer natural.

Why are you restricting God to supernatural means of orchestration? Why could he not have used natural means?

All Darwinian evolution means is that the diversification of life has a natural explanation. That still leaves room for God's guidance if one beleives God is the creator and sustainor of nature.

And finally, with evolution, and no God, there is one final conclusion. You and I are nothing more than a compilation of matter. We have absolutely no value...

You seem to suggest that human beings are incapable of giving things meaning and value. On the contrary, we do it ourselves every day of our lives. We create value because we decide things have value to us. You belittle the ability of human beings themselves to provide meaning to the universe. The fact is that we do it, without regard to whether or not there is a god.
