Nowadays, having researched more about evolution, I find it hard to figure out why a supreme higher being would choose evolution to create life.
In the beginning there was no life. The universe existed for many billions of years before life sparked. A lifeless universe of matter for billions and billions and billions of years. And during those billions of years matter was evolving.
Until life was breathed into matter. Evolution is Incredibly Beautiful. Albert and many many other scientists recognized the beauty and the majesty.
They are in AWE.
Albert, btw, did not believe in the Big Bang at first. The Belgian Cathlolic Priest who first did the math and hypothosized the "Primeval Atom" was critisized by Albert. Only later did Albert see the light, and he and the father became friends.
But back to evolution....much much later after life sprang from matter, consciousness sprang from life. Again, Evolution is Awesome! How did it do that? And here we are today. What will be next? What will spring forth from conciousness? Who knows. Certainly not you or me or any human. Like a rock foreseeing life. Or early life fungus understanding consciousness. Not going to happen.
So, why WOULDN'T a ''higher being" chose evolution? What SHOULD have been chosen instead? . Instant Rainbow Unicorn Universe? Good loving healthy immortal unicorns? Or maybe a universe of Instant Hemoroidal Tissue? Evil hateful burning itchy hemoroidal tissue universe? Day after day, Unicorns or Hemoroids. No change. No evolution.
All major Christian denominations denied evolution for decades. The literal interpretation of the bible was the way to go. But then evolution was proposed and proved... but fear not! Now it turns out that evolution feats God to a T, don't you see!
Yes, religion is evolving.
Live and learn.
Evolution is helpful that way.
But why is love part of evolution. Why is hate in there too?
Good and evil have erupted due to evolution.
And how about survival of the fittest? Survival instincts?
Are they offset and tempered by Faith?
That is all part of evolution. All due to evolution.
I find it a bit ironic that Darwin was religious at first, then turned agnostic because he could not find proof nor disprove God as Creator.
Dude, it was staring you right in the face. Duuuuude
