And yeah, that's exactly my point. Earth evolved. I'm not a creationist.
That is my what I thought you'd say.
Follow up question. Do you think God set the natural world in motion or merely gave it his blessing after the fact. If the former, do you think he put some english on it in order to be sure it resulted in homo sapiens (and hetero sapiens too, of course)?
I think he set the universe (or whatever came before it) in motion in some way, and allowed nature to take its course from there. Though knowing exactly what would happen, and seeing that the good that would ultimately come out of everything would outweigh whatever bad there was.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
