The Omnipotent God Almighty created the Universe by the power of His word.

Why then couldn’t the Omnipotent God Almighty create living things by the same power The fact that God used the dust of the ground to create Adam does not mean that He used millions of years of tooth and claw bloodshed (natural selection) to change some of one group (kind) of animals into another group (kind).

Ken:

Nor does it *not* mean that he *didn’t* use evolution, Gladys. Or, simplifying the syntax, God *could* have used evolution. An omnipotent being can do anything he/she/it wants to, and is certainly not bound to use only those ideas approved by certain religious fundamentalists, mainly form USA.

Which method God used is up to scientists to discover. I’m sure you’ve heard people quote Albert Einstein, Gladys. “The Lord God is subtle, but he is not malicious.”

If we are to take creationists at their work, God is either behaving in the same way as Loki, or he’s a charlatan, deceiving honest people, both Christian and non-Christian, by planting false evidence about things for us to discover.

I know that language is pretty strong, but I’m being polite, compared to what a lot of people have said about creationists.

The latest strong criticism was Judge John Jones, who last December in his ruling that “intelligent design” was religion, and not scientists, said bluntly that he didn’t understand how these religious people could lie under oath in court, in support of their religious agenda.
