If there has been no motion, there is no change, and that renders the origin irrelevant.
I know you can do better than this, bud. C'mon now.
Don't know what your going on about but let me break it down for you. Say we are trying to determine whether or not a certain object has accelerated (evolved), or decelerated (de-evolved); knowing the state the object was originally in determines whether or not we can figure that it is moving faster or slower.
Got it?
Yeah, it's clear you don't understand my point. Deceleration is not backward motion, in any event. It is a slowing-down. Even if evolution decelerates, it is still moving forward, unless it comes to a standstill (which does happen).
But moving backwards compared to what we used to be? You'll need something better than coming to the understanding, as a society, that prizefighting isn't as desirable as it used to be.
And none of that has anything to do with abiogenesis. Assuming for the sake of argument that your little godling actually exists with the characteristics you ascribe to him, it is entirely possible that he started life and then let EbNS guide his plan.
To toy with the watchmaker analogy a bit -- which watchmaker is better, the one whose watch needs constant fiddling to achieve his goal of accurate timekeeping, or one which does so without his interference?
