I think it is very important that we don't lose track of the real issue here. Did He create the Mountains, the Forests and the Midgets or did he merely put into action the processes that led to the creation of Mountains, Forests and Midgets?

Or did He create the Mountains, Forests and Midgets and make it look as if they had been created by processes that had never happened?

Of course such trivial questions as these fade into insignificance when one asks did the midget spring into existence fully formed and dressed as a pirate, or did the midget dress itself as a pirate when it realised it was His will?
