at least those theories are more believeable than some weird stories about one eternal deity which came out of nowhere and created everything. and seriously, it's not so illogical once you actually THINK about it. as far as i see your point, you're still having one single person in mind. (talking about your example about time and decay) seems like you're forgetting some very important aspects about evolution: reproduction, mutation, adaptation, extinction, and so on and so on.

think about that once (as soon as your god allows you to):

Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him god.

-epicurus; 33 a.d.

btw, if men was created by your god, then who created diseases? satan? dun dun dunnnn.

oh, and one more link you should consider: clicketh me, sayeth yer lord!

also this one.

and while we're there, also this one.
