I confess I haven't paid much attention to the old fool since I heard about his theory in grade school.
As for constructing a god out of natural selection, anything that makes decisions is not a process.
By necessity, decisionmaking requires a mind.
A god would have a mind.
Therefore your god is natural selection.
Are you intentionally ignoring everything in this thread? Just because you need to anthropomorphize or deify natural selection, doesn't make that notion the truth, or even an assertion based even in the remotest sense on reality.
Natrual selection is not decisionmaking. It is no more a decision than the apple falling from the tree. (As has been pointed out previously, hopefully repetition will stonewall your willful ignorance.)
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
