God and Evolution Don’t Mix, by Dr. John Shook

If God was trying to produce us through evolution, what does that tell us about a God that would use that method? Here’s some suggestions:

A. God prefers diversity, not heights of intelligence or self-awareness. God does not prioritize creatures that can know God and praise God.

B. God is quite comfortable with endless horrible struggle and suffering.

C. God is quite comfortable with death – lots of it.

D. God likely has plans for the future evolution of life that don’t involve humanity.

E. God probably is just using us to later get whatever kind of life He really wants.

What is God really up to? Maybe God is slow-breeding angels. Or cyborgs. Or the Singularity. Maybe God doesn’t want worshippers – maybe God is seeing if He/She/It can eventually create another fellow God. Link
