I can't negate a Creator in any of my models of understanding. Now these words, God, Creator, etc, have a loaded meaning for most people. On the one side it conjurers images of a personal, anthropomorphic being who created everything in an almost instantaneous flurry as per Genesis. This God is unpalatable to people of science because of the overwhelming evidence unearthed regarding a clear modification or evolutionary state recorded in billions of years of fossil history.

On the other hand we have the science based, no God necessary understanding that from the most simple of creatures it is recorded and can be seen in the fossil record that a process of evolution has delivered every creature that has ever existed including us.

I come down somewhere in the middle. It is ridiculous to argue against such a staggering abundance of evidence for an evolution type process. On the other hand I do not accept for a second that chaos, or nature alone has any imperative to do a thing. Something drives nature for very specific outcomes.

So Creation and evolution to me are harmonious bedfellows. An instigating event occurred that is still unfolding. Creation followed by more Creation in the form of evolution.

"It is ridiculous to argue against such a staggering abundance of evidence for an evolution type process.........." really WH that is the greatest piece of "waffle" I have ever heard! LOL

Romans 1:20-32
20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
