You appear to be starting from a premise that it is impossible for God to have created life with the ability to evolve. This leads to the conclusion that if evolution happened, then there is no God.

I do not accept that premise because I do not assume restrictions on the power of God. Because I do not start from that premise, I arrive at different conclusions.

Just so you know.

I did not grow up with a Biblical or Cristian belief. I was left to my own to decide. I spent the better part of the past 25 years searching.

Ironically, it was Joseph Campbell's work on mythology that started me on this path. It has been a rough and rocky road, however the burning questions about the core of belief kept me going. It was never about what I wanted or needed to feel better. It has been, and is, what foundations a certain system are based on.

And as I said before, if you are sincere, then keep asking questions. DO NOT accept anything on authority alone.
