Sorry, I strongly disagree. I've seen David Copperfield make Elephants appear out of thin air. God can do MUCH better than that.

And, seeing how no human has completely figured out HOW life and evolution works - I'd say that system is ALOT more complex than pulling an Elephant out of one's butt.

“I have seen David Copperfield make elephants appear out of thin air.”

Of course, we both know you were deceived, tricked into thinking that what you thought you saw just happen actually happened. This was an illusion, sleight of hand, misdirection, etc. designed to entertain (right?)

Again, you say, “God can do MUCH better than that,” to which I give a hearty, “Amen.” But, then you go on to ascribe to Him a theory of creation [evolution] and immediately place limits on the “MUCH” He can do.

My question to you would be where does your understanding of the God you talk about in your post derive? If it is from your own sense that He simply must be, then how do you know what He is capable/incapable of? If your understanding of Him is from a religious system, what teaching, writing, etc. of that religious system do you find to be consistent with your view that God used evolution in the creation process?

And, I guess ultimately, when you say, “seeing how no human has completely figured out HOW life and evolution works...”, I just wonder how it is that so many evolutionists cannot see that the step/leap of faith they take is no less than that taken by the religionist (some would argue that the evolutionist takes a greater step of faith), which was/is my original point.

No human has completely figured out HOW gravity works either. I guess before we accept that this gravity actually exists we will need a lot more convincing. For myself, I think this 'gravity' is nothing more than angels pushing us down so that we don't fly to heaven.
