If an intelligent being created a life form, wouldn't it be intelligent of "him" to created with the ability to adapt and survive?

Well, if I as a lowly Human would think that it is a good idea for a living being to be able to adapt and survive, then I am sure that an All-knowing being would probably know that too.

Well, you'd hope he'd know MORE than we would, right?
If humans are made in God's image, it means that humans can ADEQUATELY, though not completely, grasp God.
It is impossible for a human to know more than God.
Hence, if a human knows that a life form that can adapt has more chances for survival than one that doesn't, then God would know this also.

"Each cell in a higher plant or animal has a similar measure of autonomy and should also be accorded some measure of consciousness"

I would say a bit of over reaching on this point but mostly a hypothetical rationale of the imagination. At this point we have no real evidence for anything specific and with no method of testing it will remain right there.
It is as if some Christians sit there and wait for the smallest thing that they can dispute and then jump onto it...
The Bible says that we were each given an interpretation – this gift of interpretation is not there so we can run each other into the ground. It is there for our MUTUAL edification.

the conclusion you have arrived at are merely your own which are answered but require reading the book right the way through and to the end - twinc
