Why would God create Evolution?

Does that include an Entity of mind and heart?

Well... we all have both, If that's what you mean. I have a brain as my control center, and a heart that pumps blood throughout my body. If by entity, you mean that the mind and heart exist separate from my body, then no. As soon as you die, your brain shuts down and so does your heart. The heart isn't connected to emotions anyway, so I'm not sure how it is relevant.

The body responds to mind and heart.

If your hand does anything at all.....you thought you should...or felt like it.

In spirit, we stand before heaven....
How you think and feel will make all the difference.

But there is no evidence to support that the brain and the heart can function without the body... correct?

True enough dead men do not speak or write.
Dead men do not hear or read.
This, as we do now, will end.

I believe we continue in spirit.
Your thought and feelings, now shielded in flesh, come forth.

We come naked into this life and into the arms of someone who cares.
We leave this world naked and with nothing but our souls.
Maybe someone will care.

We will not know the territory, the language, or the scheme of things.
Whatever (Whoever) stands over us in that last hour will have the advantage.

Do spirits have eyes, if not, how can they see? Do they have ears, if not, how can they hear? What is there for the spirit to do if it cannot experience any of the 5 senses? Better yet, would it even actually exist at that point?

Well I sure hope so!
I suspect it is not so much perception as we now know it.

I would be able to 'see' your dreams....the manner you feel.

I believe the peace of heaven is guarded.
If you enter...it's because you belong there.
 
In my opinion, the things are not just created because the stigma of God is the transformation in this dimension, the movement of the Universe. Otherwise we’d face a static Universe and the actions don’t happen. This is the dimension of time that is related to space. It doesn’t mean there are others dimensions where the things are created instantaneously like mental creation.

Why would God create Evolution?

The created have no choice in the matter; the Creator One-True-God created life in stages; that was His design.

He is/was in no hurry. Who would force Him to hurry? None

I quote from Quran:

[71:14] ‘What is the matter with you that you expect not wisdom and staidness from Allah?
[71:15] ‘And He has created you in different forms and different conditions.

I post here what I have posted in another thread. I felt it is also appropriate here.

God did not start big bang or evolution. Big bang initiates a process, an evolution, time, becoming, good and evil, suffering etc. God's nature is fullness and fullness does not become or evolve but unfolds.
The big bang is stated by the soul. This soul is the child of the reflection of the divine ray in the primordial matter. (Creation is like the radiance of the divine. Its nature is fullness as God's nature is fullness). It is the combination of spiritual and material. Its natural tendency is to return to God. Just like a ray of the Sun wants to go back to the Sun. This is vertical and internal. But this soul in the initial stage is in ignorance. So it projects its object God outside in time and space and want to reach it.( I want to become like God) It is this desire for God which propels the big bang-and the evolutionary process. The purpose of this evolution is to create a body and mind which can become conscious of the divine spark and finally realize its oneness with God. It is like the parable of the prodigal son,who comes away from the Father and returns to the Father. The evolutionary process is not a blind movement based on chance. It is the work of an inherent intelligence. It is oriented towards a clear destiny. The ultimate goal or destiny of evolution is to be united with God. The immediate goal is to prepare a body and mind as a vehicle to bring us back to God. There are two types of evolutions. One is the first stage of unconscious evolution until self consciousness appears. The second level is the psychological or religious evolution that seeks the meaning and the purpose of our life in this world, who we are,who God is and what is our relationship with others and creatures. All the sacred scriptures,religions, philosophies belong to this level. This level will prepare for spiritual awakening which takes us beyond these two evolutions and brings us back to original state of eternity and oneness with God. In Christianity Christ completed this process. Jesus said,'No one has ascended into heaven except the Son of Man who descended from heaven.

Why?

It has no historicity at all to anything in Jewish culture, or nature.

History is a tool created by us human beings and does not cover all the phases of human existence. There are pre-historic periods in history for your information please.

Word Revealed in Religions and science helps in such matters; my friend.

Wikipedia helps:
Prehistory (meaning "before history", or "before knowledge acquired by investigation", from the Latin word for "before," præ, and historia) is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Prehistory refers to the period of human existence before the availability of those written records with which recorded history begins.[1] More broadly, it can refer to all the time preceding human existence and the invention of writing.

I do believe in others dimensions where we can't "feel" with the eyes, sound, touch and smell, but another perception takes place. So, this dimension could exist in another.
