dhw: But you are offering me a choice of evolution with limitations versus evolution without limitations, as above, and one makes sense to you while the other doesn’t.

On the contrary I can accept either, as I have said all along.

DAVID: If He controls or guides evolution there is no chance.

dhw: Precisely. So why do you say he waited until our solar system “appeared”? Your answer is your second hypothesis: that he may have designed all the systems with a view to creating lots of life forms. So then you will have to jettison your “waited until our solar system appeared”. More confusion.

No confusion. He may be in total control and only look limited.

DAVID: Multiple worlds with multiple humans is something we cannot know, but also something to be considered.

dhw: Agreed. And either he is in control or he isn’t. That is “something we cannot know”, as is the history of life’s evolution, and the existence of God, and God’s purposes and nature. But oddball theist and pure agnostic, we are united in our quest for enlightenment, and long may we continue to jostle along with each other!

DAVID: Right on!

dhw: Agreement at last!

To continue the battle.
