YOU don't make any fucking sense. The theory of evolution is not meant to be reconciled with your creation myth. Your god can evolve about as readily as it can visit the drive-thru at Taco Bell, it can't.
As for answers to your random questions;
1) evolution doesnt apply to made-up charectors.
2)You didn't hear me say anything.
3) No, it is NOT interesting.
Your problems began when trying to look at evolution through your creationism/christianity coloured glasses.
Trying to figure out how evolution would affect god is like trying to figure out how Santa flies through the sky without hitting a 747.

God DID evolve - from the psychotic warlord of the OT to the passive-aggressive described in the NT. But, a lot of people are more moral and more loving than either of these characters. So, yes, a lot of us have evolved beyond the primitive characterizations of god.

The highlights:
\"Evolution is a new idea\"
No, its 150 yrs old.
\"I don't think that it has been properly thought out.\"
It is very well thought out. As new and better data has become available the theory has, dare I say it, evolved.
\"What if God did reproduce, do you think that evolution would apply to Him then?\"
Read your fucking bible, according to the story he did reproduce, he had a son named Jesus, prehaps you've heard of him?
\"Would His children gradually change so that they are nothing like Him?\"
Again, its only a story but if you read the whole bible you'll notice Jesus isn't a real motherfucker like his old man. Unlike daddy he doesn't flood the planet, destroy cities or command his followers to commit genecide.

Didn't that already happen? Compare and contrast OT God with NT Jesus.

We have two conflicting theories then.

No, no it doesn't make sense. Nothing you have ever said makes sense.

To begin with, there are not proof of its existance, let alone what he is like. And talking about reproduction...........Virgin Mary rings you a bell?

Stop pretending you know what evolution is, Gottservant.
Let's say, for the sake of this exercise, that your god was a real, living natural creature.
Evolution still doesn't rapidly alter a single creature in a lifetime (no matter how long that life) it changes a species over multiple generations. So no, it wouldn't apply UNLESS there were a long series of beings descended from the first god, each having to adapt to their environment. But that would make you a polytheist.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. If you believe in an all-powerful god, naturally you must concede that the usual laws of nature do not apply to it; therefore, even if evolution were just like your Pokemon games, it wouldn't necessarily apply to God.
Holy crap, that was a much longer post than I intended.

I'm sorry, but the Chewbacca Defense is not a valid debate tactic.

This is the most ridiculous thing.
Evolution is a new ideaPatently untrue.
consider God. God changes all the timeDon't you people
know your own
Bible?
The one who created all things can't experience what He created.Well, yes, obviously. Why do you think that's a problem? Granted the Incarnation, God has
some experience of what it's like to be a human creature. But even that doesn't mean that God knows what (say) menstruation is like. Does that mean you think God didn't create the female reproductive system?

God did reproduce, though: He made Adam and Eve in his image. They were his children, and we are his descendants. The whole Garden of Eden story is both a creation myth and a parable for the process of growing up.

A very provocative question, Gottservant, and one that many have pondered. Now please go watch cartoons.

Certainly God as a fictional character DOES evolve. Christians over the centuries have been adding, editing and changing the stories of God and Jesus.

Gottservant - the most clueless person known to man. There are caterpillars that make more sense than him.
If there was a god, and that god was almighty, dontcha think it had a \"merge\"-spell like in the old Dungeon Keeper?

I guess a 150 year old fact is still new when compared to the Jewish creation myth you all think is fact.

\"God changes all the time,\"
I thought god was the same, yesterday, today and forever.

This argument is not only wrong scientifically, it is so flawed theologically that it is tantamount to blasphemy.

We didn't say there was a God in the first place.
That would've been you.
