Creating

I remain puzzled by the view, usually an unclearly defined one, that 'evolution' was or is God's 'method' of creating.

It's an odd method, I must say.

The creation is God exhibiting who he is: it is an act of love and it brings life. These are the impetus and outcome of God acting. He acts in love to bring life, or rather relationship.

But, to turn around and say that death, which is the single dominating feature of evolution (the less fit die while the fit survive and innovate...allegedly innovate to transmogrify 'kinds'), is the engine of creation is perverse to say the least. Death is anti-creation and anti-love.

The proponents of this bizarre theology had better get their explaining skates on.
