Hi Joe, you’re way of reasoning surprises me. Please consider the following questions that follow a similar line of reasoning for a different phenomenon, the human embryo.
A. Do you consider the growth of a human embryo to occur by means of natural processes?
If you answers is yes, see questions B and C.
If your answer is no, see questions D and E.
B. Then, do you believe that the growth of a human embryo is also without purpose?
If your answer to question B is yes, congratulations. You have won a meet-and-greet with Richard Dawkins .
If your answer to question B is no, please answer the following question:
C. If God is purposefully creating human embryos through natural processes, why can’t He have created humanity purposefully through natural processes?
D. Then, in what ways do you think the growth of an embryo differs from a natural process?
E. Do you think God must supernaturally intervene in the natural processes for the embryo to grow?
