Evolution Trumps Intelligent Design

For the sake of argument, let us assume that the bible is literally correct, and that all existing life was created in 6 days. Even if that were the case, evolution, like a monkey with a sledge hammer, would still have been operative since that original conception date.

Consequently, the original "intelligently designed" creatures would still continue to change and evolve. So even if there really were an initial "intelligent design", it would not disprove, or even impede, evolution.

For example, consider the Jews. According to a literal interpretation of the Old Testament, the original people that God created were the Jews. But yet, just 60 years ago, 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis. So how "intelligent" is that? If the Jews had been that intelligently designed, the Germans would not have been able to kill them. In fact, the Jews who were killed obviously had some serious adaptive imperfections, like not paying enough attention to their own self-defense, or perhaps not being sufficiently paranoid.

Indeed, this shows evolution trumping "intelligent design". Even the most perfectly designed people can be exterminated by Brutes, and this, in term, favors the future survival of the Brutes, not the ones who were originally "intelligently designed".

The same logic holds true for all of the animals in the animal kingdom who have since gone extinct. They may have been perfectly designed for the conditions that existed on Day One, but they were not well-adapted enough to survive evolutionary forces.

So the conclusion that must be drawn is that even if there was "intelligent design" in the initial creation of the human race, evolutionary forces can murder those intelligently designed creatures and, literally, change the face and shape of humanity.

If the Third Reich has survived for another 10 or 20 years, HUGE evolutionary changes in the Human Race would have occurred. Perhaps The Big Nose could have been eliminated as a human characteristic. Indeed, every single person in the human race might now be tall and nasty-looking, with cold, demonic, blue eyes. Indeed, he might have succeeded in murdering off every single black or asiatic person in the entire world. This would be evolution at work, and it totally trumps "intelligent design", which is simply ancient history, even if it is true.

God Was Created By Evolution?

The only theory of God that I find acceptable is that God Himself is actually a product of evolution. According to this theory, God Himself was created by evolution. He then proceeded to create, or re-create the Human Race.

That is the only theory that makes sense to me. Otherwise, how did God get there to create mankind in the first place?
