Hello George,

Just curious to know what you mean by 'evolutionary method.'

You wrote: "Evolution works today and in the past. It is a wonderful methodology for creative works."

Could you please explain what process or origin you are speaking about? Are you assuming 'everything changes' and therefore we should look intently for those changes, in both organic and inorganic things? Does the 'methodology for creative works' involve intention, goal-directedness, purpose, foreplanning? If so, biological evolution seems to underplay such concepts in its public expression.

You also wrote: "God, via His evolutionary method with or without any intervention, has earned the credit as being their maker."

This doesn't make much sense to me until you explain what this supposed 'method' is. Above you wrote methodology, now you write method. Most people speak of evolutionary 'theory' or of evolution as a 'fact of natural history.' Yet you seem to be elevating it into something more significant, into a method(ology). Is this your intention?

G. Arago
