What part does death play in it?

death provides a mechanism by which maladaptive traits are weeded out. A sort of "passive filter". If animals never died then there would be no mechanism by which adaptation was necessary or able to operate.

Thank you for answering. Finally, we have proof that evolution is unnatural.

the Big Bang was an expansion of spacetime . It wasn’t an explosion.
I think a very fast expansion is an explosion.
Either way, the BB theory is just a naturalistic (no pre-existing mind behind it) model with enough problems of its own.

I wouldn't say we are all God, but God does dwell within each of us.

1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
In Christians.

What does it matter what I think, do you need approval from someone else to accept an idea you have?

I was speaking of the point I made a while back...from the OP.

OK. Just so no one walks away thinking that I felt evolution was "unnatural".

But I guess the bigger question is: why do you think it is unnatural? How do you define natural and unnatural?

I define natural as being Tov Meod (Very Good): this is what the Creator called it, before death and sin entered in. So, "unnatural" is what scientists may observe when they see death and decay in creation.

So do you have an alternative name for 'the state of', or 'existing in', nature?

You think wrong. An explosion expands into space. The Big Bang was an expansion of space.

Prepositions are small words with big meanings.

OK, so "natural" in a religious-only sense.

That’s kinda ? Huh? I have no idea what you mean by that . The only organisms that are immortals are unicellular and even individuals from those lineages can die. Multicellular organisms are just too complex and while some can clone ( plants do this a lot) some can’t

Being truly natural is spiritual...when people see it or speak of it, they call it supernatural. Science and technology, while seeming to increase knowledge and abilities, are limiting, because they are a subjective tool acting on mere decay.

You are subjecting yourself to the limitations of a creation subject to corruption.
