He'd be like "What, you think I'm so friggin' weak & stupid that I can't set up a progressive evolutionary system that will get me the results I want?. I mean, WTF?? I create and entire extra-dimensional orderly universe with billions of stars and planets and math & logic to hold it all together - with one hell of alot fewer 'bugs' than a simple Windows operating system, create life on it and watch it grow - and you think that, to achieve my goals, I had to 'zap' all these individual creatures into being like a Penn & Teller show???
Then some dumb-ass humans - who have only evolved about 25% of the way towards my final design - would rather put all of their faith in the words of some corrupt old men trying to seize money, power & control for themselves rather than look around at my creation, study it, marvel at it's complexity and try to figure it all out.
I mean, for Christ's sake - I mean 'my sons' sake, they're like teenagers who read a little Karl Marx - then go off on their little communist 'for the people' tirades - until they grow up and reality hits them in the face.
Ah, but what can I expect, they only evolved their frontal lobes a few million years ago...and I guess some of them are still nervous about actually using them
Kids, sometimes they sure are a pain in the butt."

It is the notion of evolution that presents a weak God. The idea that God can create completeness (total beings, creatures, worlds, physical laws, etc.) out of nothingness posits a God who is greater in strength, power, wisdom and majesty.
I might also suggest that the weaker our view of who God is has direct bearing on how we reverence Him. Today, our society talks of Him (and His Son) as if he were just another being that “evolved”, and not the One who has fashioned all things.
I am old enough to understand there are many ways of perceiving the world into which we have been placed. As such, I recognize your prerogative to indulge fancies in verbal form. At the same time, it is equally apparent that we are only slightly more enlightened, both spiritually and intellectually, than tadpoles.
As for the title of this article, it too errs in asserting evolution to be "preposterous." The theory of evolution is reasonable in most every way. Anyone who accepts its general tenets (such as uniformitarianism, which of itself is not at all preposterous) may reasonably conclude we are observing the results of a process taking billions of years.
Meanwhile, to suggest God must stoop to your level in creating and maintaining the universe by means of evolution is a prima facie denial of His omnipotence, not to mention the plain texts He has placed into our midst to make known His works and ways.
