THAT GOD IS ... IS ABSOLUTELY necessary for the diversity and the changes in diversity that we observe. Otherwise, diversity would be too diverse to collect into recognizable clusters of anything.

I so agree, Quix! Sheer randomness without a guide to the system would play out as maximum entropy -- or heat death -- of the system. With a guide to the system, randomness is constrained to produce the kinds of actual living entities that we observe all around us. Things change, but purposefully.

My view FWIW. Thanks so much for writing!

Beautifully said, dearest sister in Christ!

That's a keeper!

Thanks for your kind words.

I agree with your analysis of the 'system.'
