Evolution took a long time (Introduction)

dhw:I have already answered your question many times, in my hypothetical theistic explanation of the higgledy-piggledy history of life’s comings and goings. God would give up that total control because he wanted to. Why? Perhaps because the creation of life was an experiment, a show, an entertainment, a means of relieving eternal boredom. Do you enjoy shows that are utterly predictable?

Again your humanizing assumptions that God needs entertaining. How do you know He was bored during His eternity? I don't.

dhw: I would suggest that my hypothesis at least offers a more convincing explanation of the seemingly random comings and goings than your total control in order to “balance nature” in order to produce humans.

More convincing only to you. Humans are here against all odds.

dhw: But I’m pleased to see that although autonomous intelligent inventive mechanisms are “not in your considerations, ever!” unless we call them “God”, you agree that they are possible.

Autonomous IM's with follow up dabbles, as you've agreed, are fine.

dhw:Since there is no more evidence for your hypotheses than mine, I can only assume you refuse to consider mine because you happen to know what matters to God and I don’t!:-(

I add things up alternatively to the way you do. After all, I accept God exists, and you play at it.;-)
