Over the years I have struggled to come up with a simple but precise answer to that question. And, eventually I found it. I believe in Darwin's God.

"Darwin clearly rejected Christianity and virtually all conventional arguments in defense of the existence of God and human immortality." In his own autobiography, Darwin admitted that his evolutionary beliefs gradually made the Bible unbelievable to him and said "Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true."

"I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true."

Darwin rejected creationism's interpretation of the Bible, which was dogma at the time. For some reason, a sect of Christians resurrected a nonsense view of the Bible about a hundred years ago.

There is no need to interpret God's Word so it does not comport with reality. In my view, many of the literalists have made up their own god. My God is not fond of nonsense.
