It’s called “theistic evolution.” I think this hypothesis states that God created the world using evolution as a means to an end.

All of creation are a means to Gods ends, including all natural processes.

Back in the day it was considered an act of faith to explore these natural processes as a way to understand the will of God. There are a lot of Lunar craters named for scientists who were also clergymen.

Theistic evolution says that God “used” death, disease, predation, and mutation in His perfect Creation in order to create a universe that He saw was Good.

And the first thing He recognized as “not good” was that Man was alone without a suitable helper. Hmmm... death, disease, mutation, predation - all “Good”, but Man being alone is “not good”.

Just curious, how should we “reinterpret” this last little bit in light of “God used evolution”?
