Theistic evolution confronts a major problem.
This idea proposes that evolution occured and was 'used' by God as his creative mechanism.
It is yet to be explained how a long history of waste, futile genetic dead ends, the death of the weak or less adapted and the relentless march of chance either reflects and fetches praise of the God who is love, or represents the basically personal nature of the Christian 'first philosophy' to use Plantiga's term.
Evolution is impersonal, de-humanising, loveless, and requires waste, destruction and death on its march to oblivion. Nothing like what we read of the warm love in fellowship between God and creature in Genesis 1, and, implied in Proverbs 3:19, the exercise of God's wisdom in achieving his ends. Indeed, evolution reveals the very opposite: haphazard foolishness and dissipation.
