If God created evolution, doesn't that count as creationism?

So evolution could be characterised - in ultra reductionist terms- as quite simply *choosing the path of less resistance*.

So if God in His Infinite Majestic Glory and Patience created an array where there were avenues or conduits that allowed species to - over 1000s of generations choose the path of less resistance and "evolve" doesn't that count as *design*?

If that's a little obtuse try this, if you reach out and try to change the universe with your own hands is that really any different from seeming not to do anything but really you don't need to because before anyone noticed, you arrayed things with such craftsman ship that all you need to do is let things fall into place. God was doing the ground work before you were even able to pay attention.

@Zonuss Where’s the [i]compelling necessity[/i] to even entertain the postulation?

Personal experience is just that... restricted to one person, and certainly not a reason for others to have gods

But my main point is that my position doesn’t involve belief

@newjaninev2 There are underlying issues that come into play. And for a lot of people it goes beyond personal belief. Like I said the [b] supernatural[/b] adds to the discussion.

@Zonuss So your justification for postulations about the existence of the supernatural is... the supernatural? 😀

But to return to the topic posted... evolution simply doesn’t require any sort of magical entity. Why then complicate things by introducing one? What is gained?
