text: does the following quote indicate that aristotle believed that there was a creator of evolution? "there is something that moves the things that are in motion, and the first mover is itself unmoved".    aristotle.  i'm not sure if the quote is implying that there is a god behind the theory of evolution, but that's how i interpret it.  what do you think? aristotle believed the universe always existed.  st. thomas aquinas stated that if the universe just began, his proof of god would be trivial.    given those few words, read antony flew, god and philosophy.     what is truly happening is that science is stuck.  and i know math and science very well.    evolution is a mixed concept: fossil record (true) and how did it happen (????).  the issue is, can we show that new dna information can occur naturally.  not a new breed of dog.  not a new antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria.    a new function, a new species.  if this can be shown, religion is dead.
