Is it logical to make the leap from unreasoning (inanimate and unconscious) to reasoning (animate and conscious) through evolution? No it is not.
​
As a theist I think that it is perfectly logical to believe that the creator created life as we know it through an evolutionary process.

And that logic would be . . . ?
​
I'm not saying that it is evolution that leads to theism, but if one is already a theist, and if science leads us reliably to evolution then I believe that it is logical to assume that the two are compatible.

So what you are describing is a belief that is projected onto reality which is not objective. The idea behind objectivity is that there is a reality which is independent of our beliefs and minds. By making reality conform to your beliefs you are proposing a subjective view of reality.

Fair enough but we all do that. Everyone's beliefs regarding god, gods, or no god(s) is subjective.
