Is the belief in creation without evolution underestimating the intelligence and power of a creator , that he/she would not realise the need to evolve in climatic and geographical changes ?

I dunno about intelligence, but certainly creativity.
Bower birds. Some amazing colours and a habit of creating a showhome!
Sex. What a place to put genitals eh?!
So if there is a god (a view that I don't personally subscribe to, at least not in the personal 'individual' sense) he appears to have both a creative streak and a sense of humour.
So, sure. I can imagine him creating the world on a dull day with all the fossil evidence in place, or just setting the ball rolling and seeing what happens. 'Hey' he says 'let's see what humans make of THIS!' Why not! Better than imagining he made two people, stuck them in a garden and then got upset when they ate from his prize fruit tree.

Actually, it requires greater intellect to determine that there was a Creator than it does to blindly suppose that all we see in this universe just "happened". That is about as likely as a man throwing paint on the wall and expecting it to create a Rembrandt masterpiece for him.
To believe in a Creator, a person actually, after weighing all the available information, believes that there is a far greater Intelligence than himself and lives content in that knowledge. On the other hand, those who choose not to believe in a Creator do not live contentedly, as evidenced by some of the vitriolic questions and comments which appear here. To adapt to climactic change is a built-in ability of man. We were made to be able to do that. However, when was the last time you saw a monkey so much as change his mind, let alone become human? Adaptation is NOT evolution.

LOL 'Dr' J indeed..you are a klutz of the first order. The 'blind painter/watchmaker' argument does not hold water. In the second instance, if the universe were not so, then intelligent life would not exist to contemplate it.
Did you get your 'doctorate' from an accredited college/university or was it by correspondence course for a few$$..and pray tell me where may we view your thesis.?.which library is it held in?
There are NO academics on here, only the mad, the bad and the seriously demented.

Belief in Creation is a total neglect of the blinding facts in front of your face. Trying to mix the rational concepts of science with ancient superstitions like god, does not make god believable, and will alienate you from both the thinkers who follow science, and the faithful who believe in one book!

I once read that rudimentary hind limbs appear briefly in the embryos of whales and dolphins, and I said to myself BRIEFLY?
Why briefly? Whale and dolphin embryos need hind limbs for only a short time??
I GOT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, PEOPLE !!
Now what was your question again? Oh you, you're quite right, God, if there were one, would likely use evolution cause it makes a lot of sense.
Since there is no God, evolution happens anyway. Somebody help me, I've lost my avatar.

I completely agree. If indeed God created the universe (which I believe) then God would know that species would need to evolve and 'program' that in as well.

I think just the opposite would apply here. You are trying to bring this to a mans level of understanding when this is a level of God who goes beyond our understanding. So no, I don't agree

I would say yes. A columnist in 'Scientific American' recently wrote that strict creationism makes God like a clock-maker, and that this was belittling.

Everything is made up of atoms, atoms consist of protons and electrons, in which protons and electrons are created from stellar birth, in our case, the sun, so technically we are made out of star dust. Not some ''god.''
