By extrapolating your prespectives, at best, you're just a random mutation which arose from some pond scum, whose relatives resembled anything from slugs, to rats, to apes...created by nothing, for nothing, and with and for no purpose in life at all, and life has no meaning as you spin through space with no destination...and in the end...the worms.

Why is that the inevitable conclusion? Isn't it possible that God works through evolution? Surely God could set evolution in motion, couldn't he? He makes the rules, and the universe abides by them...

The two beliefs are not mutually exclusive - just because I don't believe that God is intimately involved in every single detail of my life, or the workings of the world, doesn't mean I don't believe in God at all, does it?

That's what my Mom use to say to me too.
