When you are talking with persons that are ignorant about evolution, there is a way to discuss this without getting into a fight…You agree upon something like the DNA molecule in cells and then you say ------how did god do it??? How did god make life?? You don’t have to believe in their god…
this was meant as a serious topic…
i would like to see all those theists come forward and write rationally about the origin of life and other aspects that people call evolution…
where are the theists when i need them…
I’d like to see odds (not evidence) that the genes of a simple monkey could evolve into something as complex as a man. 
turtle,
You do understand that your question was answered in your title? “God works in mysterious ways” How isn’t important. Faith is all that counts, and no theists feel compelled to answer a non-question… :-"
Blame it on the sa-a-a-a-a-a-aavior…
His blood is supposed to be alcoholic anyway, right? It works.
the big question is how did god create life…
i would like to know…how did god decide on DNA???
The universe is information, all in bits, on-off. How much simpler can it be?
tent-----can you be more specific…how about DNA…
the dummies are assuming that god did it…
how did god do it…they dont come up wth anything…whatever happened it is miraculous but not a miracle…
Hi Turtle,
You ask: Why did God create life with DNA and use evolution to do it?
Lets start with God. If God exists why does God exist?
The theological tradition says that God is absolutely necessary being. God exists necessarily and depends upon nothing else that makes God’s existence necessary. Thus, God makes God’s own existence necessary.
But this is non-sense, or more accurately, non-sense on stilts.
Existence is the prerequisite for being able to cause anything else. God cannot cause God’s existence to be necessary unless God exists. Thus existence necessarily precedes necessary existence. All God can do is make God’s continued existence necessary. Thus, the proper discription of God’s necessity is not that God necessarily exists, but rather that God necessarily persists.
Consequently, if God exists, it is because God either (1) just happened to come into existence, (2) came into existence as something less than a perfect being, but developed into a perfect being, or (3) was caused to come into existence by something else.
The likelihood that God just happened to come into existence is infinitesimal.
Stop to think for a moment what is entailed in omniscience and omnipotence. Omniscience entails knowing everything, not just abstractly but in absolute detail. Just to perfectly know our universe as it actually exists, God must know in complete detail every single part of every single atom in the universe: a universe filled with billions of galaxies. Then beyond that, God must know every single part of every single atom in every single possible variation of our universe. Then, God must know every single detail about any other possible universe-like entities. Now beyond that, God must be able to have absolute control over all of this inconceivably infinite reality that God must know.
Now, if you have followed this, you must agree that it is no more than infinitesimally likely that God would just happen to come into existence.
So, why should we think that there is a significant possibility that God exists? Because, if God did not exist there would nevertheless be a tendency of evolution to evolve toward more god like beings. An ameoba is much more god like than a hunk of rock. A crustacian is more godlike than an ameoba. A fish is more godlike than a crustacian. etc. etc.
Now, it is absolutely preposterous to assume that our universe is unique or anything more than a tiny portion of everything that exists. People are so egocentric that they always underestimate the full extent of reality. First, humanity assumed that the earth was the center of all things, then the sun, then the center of our galaxy. Now we are finally thinking in terms of “multiverses” rather than just universes.
Once we get rid of our narrow egocentricism, we realize that reality is probably infinite and that, therefore, there has been an infinite opportunity for God to evolve or to have been created by something much more godlike than ourselves that did evolve.
While we cannot say exactly what the probability is that God has come to exist, we can conclude that there is a significant likelihood.
Now lets suppose that a perfect, omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent God has come to exist. Might not that God think that it was a tragedy, that all formerly existing conscious beings with cares and concerns had passed away into oblivion? I think so. I think God, once God exists, would undertake to create all possible realities that might have existed and passed away so that all conscious being who had passed away could live again and this time be given eternal life.
Why did God choose DNA as the operative life molecule on our planet? Because that was one possible way of creating conscious beings. If there are others, then God has created worlds and/or universes where God has utilized those other possible ways of creating conscious beings with cares and concerns.
cave am i directly related back to a single cell with DNA???
If separation by more than a million generations is “directly related”, I believe that is what is generally believed by most reasonable people including myself. Whether God set the Universe in motion, or pure luck set it in motion, its pretty clear that we evolved from single celled organisms. The evolutionary record is generally one of developing complexity. DNA seems to generally be the well established biological molecule for encoding biological form for future generations. I suppose it is possible that there was some simpler protein doing the encoding job in the first proto-living proto-oganisms.
Why all the question marks?
if god did it then how does god change DNA to create new species…
Go to a casino - you will find the answer to your question there.
Don’t forget your thinking cap.
Hi Turtle,
You ask?
Good question.
Given God’s purpose when recreating all possible realities that might have existed before God is to enable any conscious beings with cares and concerns to live again, he would be focused primarily upon creating those kinds of realities in which such consciousnesses would have existed. That means they would be fairly stable realities. That means they would be controlled by laws of nature. So all God does is set up natural law governed universes and let them play themselves out along all possible pathways of development.
So if you want to know how new species come about and how DNA is the mechanism, ask a biologist. They are the experts in how the natural laws in our particular universe work to bring about the evolution of new species.

god is magic bro
By all means let’s be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
I liked that^. 
so god created the way that biological forms operate…did god ever intervene and change any natural laws…
