That's probably what a lot of D&D players and Ouija Board dabblers thought, too.

If God is the Agent of fear, would you [personally] try to evangelize someone who was wearing a T-shirt that said NO FEAR?If god is the agent of fear, who needs demons?

Incorrect. Evolution restricts variation to lines of descent. If a bird species alive today develops some new evolutionary structure, there's no way in hell a mammal species will be able to incorporate that structure into its own anatomy. There's just no mechanism available for the transfer of that information from one species to another.
Because variation is limited to lines of descent, we expect with evolution to see traits that come together as "package deals". And this is exactly what we do see.
But with a creator? We don't know what to expect. A creator can do anything at all. If a creator finds that a certain structure works well in a bird, it is perfectly capable of implementing that same structure in a mammal. So we have no reason, a priori, to believe that a creator would restrict variation in the way that evolution does.
This hinges upon the idea that mammary glands would be useless without fur, and other similar claims. Somehow I have a hard time buying that.
Why? Why not make a number of different models? Why not mix and match parts with existing models?A creater would make everything from a single model and reshape as there is need.
Why not? A creator can do anything it pleases. So why not?Of coarse a bird adaptation will not become a mammal one.
This is because evolution is descent with modification. Creatures that you see that have the same basic model descended from the same ancestor that also had that model. Evolution places strong restrictions on what sorts of variation can exist, as all variation has to come through descent, and all variation must be capable of being passed on (i.e. it must be either beneficial or at worst neutral...variations that are detrimental to reproduction get weeded out almost immediately).The point was that its unlikely that evolution would not have all kinds of results in creatures when in fact creatures seem to be based on the same model. As one would expect from a simple single blueprint and one creator.
Everyone has eyes, ears, and so on. Yet surely in its time and bump and grind evolution would have eyes of any numbers and in the back of heads for many.
A way of looking at things.
i see, the fossil record was just conveniently left to make it look like complex life evolved from simple life. Youbetcha!
what mechanic was used to help these bats to grow wings? what were they like before they had wings? how do you know? if wings can be formed by this strange unknown mechanic? surly other changes can be made? Whats to stop change after change from compiling upon each other to create something wonderful and new?
ps: av this is what cognitive distance is
maybe if you had some evidence to support your creator, peoplee might listen to you. until that time comes, we only will look at the information available now. i can make stuff up just as easly as the guys who wrote the bible can. heck, i can do a better job at making it sound more believable.
the authors of the bible had no clue about science and its impact on discovery of information and facts.
what about flying fish? or flying squirrels?
why do flying insects have a completely different wing than birds?
why are some birds flightless?
if they are flightless birds, why call them birds?
your creator theory explains nothing except that you are too lazy to find out the truth.
"god did it" kept humanity in the dark ages for centuries, its time to grow up.
all mammals ARE related, they all share a common ancestor. this is why they all share common traits (fur, nipples, etc..)
explain why there are so many different wing designs...(please show your work)
why do your gods creatures need to change at all?God would not make each creature out of no relation to common principals. like gavity there is laws in biology. Not a mishmash as evolution should produce.
most of life looks the same when you get beyond the differences.
The same idea from a same creative idea.
