I take it that his god, being the god of the bible, is a loving god that cares about his creations. Why then, choose such a brutal mechanism full of birth defects and lots of death and suffering? I guess if you read the bible you'll find your answer. He's not so loving and perfect.
I find evolution beautiful and interesting in many ways, but only as a naturalistic explanation that just is what it is, because if a loving all powerful and perfect creator used this process, then it's just despicable and cruel. I see no way around this conclusion. Maybe Francis Collins could explain the error in my thinking. yeah, I doubt it.
