You don’t really see man as a ‘creator kind’ when he develops any simple program or something as complex as a genetic algorithm?
Computer logic and programming was created to simulate life - in it’s infancy in order to perform repetitious mind-numbing tasks involving math, sorting, filtering, and decision-making - but as our knowledge base grows who knows how close it may come to resemble God’s creation.
But have you not researched DNA/RNA enough to see the logic and coding similarities that God has created for every living breathing creature that He saw fit to create - many operations that happen automatically in just fractions of a second? Every organ being built, repaired, and even rebuilt throughout every second of any creature’s life? The massive communications that occur between the brain (mainframe) and the nervous system (network)?
You can’t have the rich diversity of life we enjoy w/o having an awesome all-thinking, all-seeing, all-powerful God to create it! Let alone the physical infrastructure (earth, solar system, and universe) on which it all life - as we know it - depends!
Your posts show you truly lack imagination enough to let your mind soar when you read God’s Word and try to comprehend the awesome and majestic qualities of the one true God described in the Bible.
Show me any other book written that contains anything approaching the truth and veracity of the statements made in the Bible. No modern archeology has ever refuted one historical fact presented in it. No book can come close to the wisdom either - search the prophecies both fullfilled and yet to be fulfilled (roughly 25% of the Bible is prophecy). Psalm 22 was written approx 1000 years before Christ lived and it describes several prophecies He fulfilled in sacrificing His life on the cross.
Look at the scientific facts that mankind has uncovered that were already simply defined in the Bible (man from dust, water cycle, number of stars in the sky equal to grains of sand on the seashores, descriptions of the monstrous land creature leviathan and behemoth of the sea). See www.clarifyingchristianity.com/science.shtml for myriad other examples.
Yes, I do. And I don't see the theory of evolution saying how life was created, only how it changed over time (much like how a GA's population changes over time).

Yet all actions we make can be broken down into decision trees with weightings based upon our desires and intentions.
GAs don't work by simulating just an individual; they work by simulating populations. The averages over time are what get you the result.
Much like societies in general. We can say that societies that encourage freedom and private property rights become wealthier over time. "Bonus Points" the members of those societies. Societies that embrace homosexuality are typically in their later stages and close to decline, so lose a few points there.
GAs deal with populations of solutions, ebbing and flowing as conditions dictate until you end up with a fairly stable population that is relatively consistent in its environment and results.
The power of GAs does not reside in the creation of the population; the power lies in the way the population evolves. They are two separate events, much like creation and the theory of evolution.
