> dhw: George's image ties in perfectly with the idea that God (if he exists) created life for his own entertainment, and I think most of us would agree that it's far more entertaining to watch a game without knowing the outcome. The thought is anathema to many religious people, but as a speculation it has just as much “validity” as the speculation that he has a personal interest in us, loves us, and plans a bright future for those who obey the commands of the people who say they know what he wants us to do. -Then why speculate? My speculation is concerning how God ran the process of evolution.
