Moorad,
I was not aware that, as a human being, I am independent of
"things/animals". I find that I am definitely physical, tied to matter,
with characteristics like those of all the creatures whose genome has
been sequenced. How can I get out of this, apparently erroneous,
situation?
If everything "came into being together", how can there be an
evolutionary history to both the universe and living things? Or is the
appearance of age in history pure illusion? Should I become a goose for
Gosse?

Hi Graham,
I am not sure how one can separate the creation of the cosmos from the
creation of man. The whole thing came into being together. Perhaps this
is not quite consistent with evolutionary thought, but so be it. God
became flesh in the man Jesus Christ not things/animals. There is a
distinction between man and the rest of creation. Man was created in the
image of God, which means that we are conscious beings that can reason
and love.
