The creation of life through the creation of genes made of DNA was:
- Perfect – this means that the information encoding the living being was complete and whole
- Each act of creation was specific and instantaneous
- Creation was a rare occurrence and happened only at the major branching points in the tree of life
- Creation happened according to the purposes of God
The evolution of this created life was:
- Based on random mutation which is an error in the replication of DNA and so imperfect
- Natural selection conserves the useful errors
- The processes of evolution occur over time. A time scale of millions of years reveals the changes that have taken place
- Evolution occurs in accord with general laws of nature
A true understanding of science and a true understanding of what evolution actually consists of – could lead to a true theology that would glorify God as the true Creator of life.
