Wonder why? I would have loved to hear how he made material things
follow his orders. Little quarks and electrons just bopping around
making stars and galaxies and all kinds of wonders. How did he do that,
Jason?

Damn Jason, I don't see where he mentions "Gawd". Perhaps you cam point
this out to me.

It's not mentioned in any great detail because science fiction writing was not
to the level it is today. The same reason why "Lost in space" never had
concepts like "Warp drive" or Vulcans.

Darwin was a Christian during the early years of his life. He did NOT
discuss theories of abiogenesis in any of his books. Have you wondered
about that? I have and the answer is simple. He believed that God created
mankind and a countless number of beautiful and wonderful plants and
animals. After mankind, plants and animals were created is when evolution
kicked in.

Charles Darwin stated:

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having
been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst
this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity,
from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful
have been and are being, evolved."

Compare his statement to Genesis 2:7 and you will know what Darwin meant
when he stated "breathed into a few forms [Adam and Eve] or into one
[Adam].

The Bible does NOT say that God breathed life into Eve but Darwin believed
that it may have happened that way. It could have happened that way--it
makes sense.

Compare the above statement to Genesis 2:7 and the above statement by
Darwin makes perfect sense. Keep in mind that Darwin was a Christian
during the younger days of his life and knew all about the Bible--esp. the
first several chapters of Genesis. Who else but God can breath life into
people. If Darwin was NOT discussing God breathing life into Adam and
perhaps also into Eve--what was he discussing?

The evidence is overwhelming that evolution preceded mankind. Your
belief is contrary to reality.

Your belief is of no interest to me as long as you refuse to use any

There's no evidence that any god did anything. There's no reason to say
that something that is completely unsupported by any evidence is
"possible".
