Why would God create Evolution?

God is not the author of evolution. Evolution is the work of human soul that is born of the union of the divine spark and the primordial matter that also comes from God. The purpose of evolution is to create a body,mind and self consciousness that can become the vehicles of the divine spark.

That is a lovely idea.

How is this anything other than a god of the gaps?

Oh...so you ARE capable of understanding.

And I might go even further....
If I could spend the effort it takes to relate my life in a condensed form....
(like 60yrs experience shared in one year)....
THAT would be fast and the sharing would be mind boggling.
Do that again....times the 7billion other souls (if they all survive the last breath)...
And now we are discussing billions of years of sharing.
Granted not all will survive the last breath.
Not all have interesting tales to tell.
But it will take a long time to share what we gather.

Isn't that the perfect defense for god theory.
There's a god, and no you can't talk about him because he is totally different.

Isn't it funny that stuff like soul or self consciousness are as unproved as God itself.
If I remove as much as a spoon of your brain from your skull, you will turn into a vegtable. My question is where does the soul go?

How did I apply it to god differently than it applies to every mortal human person alive, will ever live, or ever lived?
No idea where you pulled this from, but it in no way addresses the point of mine you have completely ignored.

Wherever it goes every night when we're at sleep.
People can still be quite functional with only half a brain.

There are specific parts of which they are removed you'll turn into a vegetable.

It's not mine way of doing things, no logical being can explain why would it take 13 billion years for God to put humans on earth, and the only defense, which is the perfect defnse, is that god works in mysterious ways.
If you go at the brain with a weed eater I predict poor results. A neurosurgeon has to do very careful precision cutting and a decent map of the brain. They can literally take half your brain and we can still get good grades and function normal.

I'm not talking about its practicality. It is possible to remove specific parts of brain so a human would become a vegetable. That alone means there's no reason to think about souls.

Bold empty claim.

So you mean someoen can logically explain why a perfect omnipotent god would take 13 billion years before putting humans on earth?
I'll be happy to hear it.
Are you using this as an argument against evolution, or against the existence of a god, or that such a god is not perfect, or what?

He felt like it.
