God is responsible for the creation of humanity.

The fact that evolution took place is undeniable. I am not disputing that evolution took place. So arguments that evolution took place to advance living organisms on Earth to the point of humanity as it exists today is irrelevant. This is not an argument on Genesis or scripture. But what we call "Natural" selection, is in truth anything but "Natural". Let me explain first why this is possible, addressing my opponent's "If this were true, then where did this intelligence creating intelligence come from?" That is on its face ridiculous. We humans are intelligent. During the last thousand years, we have caused tremendous changes in the eco-system, and more importantly, we have brought tremendous changes in the characteristics of animals. Through selective husbandry, we have bred animals for speed, strength, weight, and intelligence. If we accept opponent's arguments, then it is impossible for us to have created/bred intelligence in other organisms through intelligent and organized design, because then "where did that one come from?" Now that being said, I first have to show of course that it is possible for our "evolution" to have taken place according to an intelligent design. Let me clarify, when I say "God" I do not mean the God of the bible or Koran or any specific holy text of any specific religion. I simply mean an entity(ies) tremendously superior to ourselves who have powers beyond our ability to comprehend. Just as the bacteria we manipulate cannot grasp the tools and devices through which we operate, if God operates on the evolutionary path of humanity and interferes to produce intelligent humans, why is it inconceivable we would not be able to detect the means by which they take action? That they operate through evolution is not inconsistent with the fact that they operate. Of course the third part, the crux of my argument is to show that not only is it possible, it is likely that we have experienced intervention from God, resulting in the creation of humanity as it is today. Here I address first the statement "It isn't that good. It isn't that robust." Creation is a difficult task and we have no reason to believe that God would waste time making us perfect. That we are not perfect is not relevant. The genetic manipulations we carry out are not perfect either, but that does not mean we did not interfere in the development of bacteria. And once again, from the perspective of bacteria, we are Gods. Multicellular life has existed on Earth for about 1 billion years. This indicates there is a high probability of intelligent design in our creation. First, "However, there is also a gradual trend as far as intelligent life goes. It is true that human-style intelligence seems rare, but intelligence in organisms seems to be quite common and trends toward the more intelligent over the less intelligent." There is no reason for evolution to proceed towards greater intelligence. Intelligence is just one of thousands of characteristics that promote survival and reproduction. Chimpanzees, which are highly intelligent, are no more successful than antelopes or lions or crocodiles. Dolphins, which are highly intelligent, are no more successful than sharks, or whales, or tuna. If intelligence is not particularly key to survival and reproduction, the fact that there is an evolutionary trend towards intelligence, which only started recently in the last several million years, is evidence that something took place to bring about this transformation. Evolution is DIVERGENT. The fact that crows, dolphins, and humans began developing intelligence at the same time even though they exist in environments that are completely unrelated is strong evidence of an outside force. Secondly, operating on the postulate of continuous time, it is impossible for intelligence and humanity to have developed at the point it did about 3 million years ago. In fact, at any point in development, the probability of random development at that point is 0. Only when an outside force intervenes to choose that point does it become possible for that point to happen. Therefore humanity could not have developed at random. And therefore God created humanity.
