>>8195088I did say "last thing", but I see you have now gone from "disagreeing with you on God" to "if there is a god". That willingness consider that there is a god is good. This is not to mistake considering something with being convinced of it.
>evolutionHow life itself came to be is a distinct matter from whether there is a god or not. Before life that can be found and sustained on Earth exists certain conditions must be met. Scientific understanding at the moment shows that such conditions do not leave much room for error.
Factors include our distance from the sun, the time in which Earth completes its full rotation and the time it takes to complete its orbit, all of this largely having to do with what the sun contributes to that set of conditions. There are other factors involved. So before you look at life and the way it developed you must look at the foundation it all rests upon.
Matter and energy. How did those come to be? Man did not make those.
They observe their existence, their properties that remain fairly consistent from one type to the next, allowing us to make choices on which to harness and employ, because we see we can rely on those properties not changing without some form of explanation.
And as you have pointed out we are capable of taking these non-living materials and making things quite unlike ourselves. We do so to bring into reality from our minds various ideas, various designs. To say that those various types of matter and energy could be the ideas, the designs of a mind, of something with a form that does not resemble its creations is not unreasonable.
