"Although a great many people on FR seem to believe that God doesn't have the power to have created evolution."

"created evolution"? Is that not a bit of an oxymoron?

Why? It actually seems more elegant and God is nothing if not elegant.

Why is creative evolution any different than setting a toy boat free in a stream?

One of the concepts in evolution is the random mutation of genes. Did not God create "randomness" in the first place?

I'm just amazed to think that there are people who think that God could not have been smart enough to set up the system of evolution in the first place. They apparently think that God could snap his fingers, and there was a new creature. But they don't think God could have created a life system that would modify itself over time. Creationism is such a simplistic view of God.
