I like the concept of a god who gives you skills and then lets you do as you please with them. Sounds like much less of an asshat than the one you're usually telling us about.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

There's a stereotype of NZ farmers with gumboots and velcro gloves when it comes to their sheep . . .
