Evolution does not say that. Evolution includes natural selection, and natural selection is not a random process. That is the reason why the all too common “tornado in a junkyard” calculations produced by creationists are mostly ignored. They start from a faulty premise and so give a faulty result: GIGO.
And your evidence that Vishnu is not necessary is…?
Oh I see. Well, then. Vishnu=God.
I disagree. The fact that we do not know what happened in the past is due to the randomness of environmental factors. Natural selection does not proceed in a determinate (straight-line) manner.
It’s a matter of dependencies, and I think in a polytheistic cosmos then Vishnu is dependent upon factors outside of himself.
Just because a component of a process is random doesn’t make the entire process random. Any given card game that shuffles cards is ‘random’ but the outcomes are not. In those cases you have intelligence involved but it can be any non-random selection pressure.
Evolution explains the formation of the material bodies of living organisms. That is all. Evolution does not explain many things: chemical valency or the orbit of the moon round the earth for example. There is a great deal that evolution does not explain, theology included.
It means you are denying yourself access to the one understanding that is key to knowledge of all living things and how they came to be. I’d say that was bad, yes.
What? Has God addressed this question? What did he say?
What? Has the churched addressed this issue? What did she say?
Why do you assume that God’s means of creation must be distinguishable from a random process filtered by natural selection? Why do you think we could tell the difference?
No scientific theory attributes a role to God. Therefore all scientific theories are false?
Your post is not directed at any poster but because it immediately followed mine, I took it to be a response to mine.
