God gave the Angels the task of searching the Infinities that contained the Universe until they found the green jewel. Or, the Earth if you please. The creationist loved to use the argument that, the probability of life evolving was so unlikely statisticaly speaking, as to be impossible. I was able to show that since Quantum Reality shows that there are actually an infinite number of universes in parallel, that the statistical improbability didn't matter. The Infinite nature of God makes all things possible, even a Universe that supports life just as science describes it.
Reality is simply a complex pattern that is ever changing.
Life is just a one of the many patterns of reality. A plan so important to God, that he sent Lucifer and the third of the Angels under his leadership to come to Earth and help the lifeforms here achieve their ultimate potential. He learned it was man's potential, or destiny, to achieve God Consciousness. Life on earth was destinrd to evolve to a level of intelligence capable of understanding God and God's plan. Look up in my Strong's Bible Concordance the definition of was , the one right after earth in the second verse.
