Evolution took a long time (Introduction)

dhw:I have never said that autonomy gets rid of God. It is my alternative to your own avowedly nonsensical interpretation of the evolutionary process. The problem with your on-and-off acceptance of the autonomous inventive mechanism is that so far you have not accepted one single example of its inventiveness. God always has to dabble, even to camouflage the cuttlefish, build the weaverbird’s nest, guide the monarch, and design frogs’ tongues and carnivorous plants, all so that life can go on until he can dabble with the pre-human brain, which he couldn’t have done more directly because…because…because…he couldn’t have done it more directly.

As a non-believer in God, your interpretations miss the mark for those of us who believe. You cannot come to the position that He did it, so you rationally try to explain God without recognizing that He did what He did for his own reasons. We can make guesses, but it doesn't get around the fact that a designer is required.
