Hi Briterican,
Glad to see you agree if there is no life there is nothing to evolve.
But was disapointed at the second part where you stated my question then just went into an example and ask me a question.
I probably should not answer your question until you answer mine but what the heck.

Do YOU think that natural selection would, over a vast stretch of future time, lead to new species and greater complexity? Or would God have to show up and save the day in some fashion?
1. Well since I believe God created all the different kinds in the beginning and there was no need for evolution except what is observed and reproducible within the kinds, I do not believe natural selection would ever replace anything.
2. When the heavens and the earth melt with fervent heat God will create a new heaven and earth and refurnish it.
But there have been many times over the history of the earth that there was extinction events that took place. Then all of a sudden a lot of new life forms appeared. Not super long periods of time.
God did not stop creating until about 6,000 years ago.
God Bless,
