The supreme achievement of life's evolution is humans. Why not the main purpose?[/i] > > > > dhw: Of course I don’t find God unreasonable. It is your interpretation of your God’s motives that I find unreasonable. But once again there is a subtle change in your position. “The main purpose” leaves lots of room for manoeuvre, as opposed to your insistence that it was his only purpose and everything else was related to it. You have slipped this in before when cornered, and I have commented on it. So please tell us more. What other purposes do you think your God may have had in starting life? > > Main purpose is still main purpose. The phrase is to allow for other possible minor purposes, but each time I think about it, I don't find any.
