I find it interesting that Darrell Watkins (“Evolution can”t explain it,” Your Opinion, July 12) can deny God the right to create in such manner that His children (at least the ones who wish to grow in understanding) might begin to see how everything was put together.
Evolution, and change over time, has nothing in fact to do with believing or not believing in “God”, nor does process over time deny the hand of God.
Doesn”t God have the ability to write in stone and in chemistry as well as on onion skin?
On the other hand, the pontifications of Mr. Watkins frequently suggest that God can only function within the limits of Mr. Watkins” understanding.
And if I understand when I read the Bible, hubris is probably of far greater concern in the judgment of souls than is functional acceptance of the science of evolution.
While it is possible to believe science and reject religion, it is also possible to be both a believer in God and believe that revelation continues. Excepting, of course, for people like Mr. Watkins who insist on shuttered windows so that their small interior candles are not swallowed in sunlight.
