The placement of 'god'

[joyster]

The concept of god is a fundamentally important in the process of
human evolution. It represents an aspirational direction to understand
more about a phenonemally fascinating universe. As we learn more it
becomes clear that god is an aspect of our own minds, though it will
remain transcendental, as it drives us into new areas of disovery.
Thus it is implicit that god is ever changing and refined through our
development. Whenever god is externalised and 'tagged' with fixed
doctrinal properties, it becomes a powerful tool in the manipulation
of human behaviour, and will conflict with other 'tags' that make up
the jigsaw we seek to see.

But not snail evolution, or carrot evolution, or blue whale evolution,...
Are you sure it's "fundamentally important? Why? What makes humans
different?

Why? Because you say it does? You seem to be conflating "god"
with "wonder". Why?

Only by your dubious definition.

Contradiction. You're claiming knowledge of the unknowable.

Endpoint.
