Seriously, do you really believe God created the Universe and life?

Question

with a sleigh of hand??

I mean, do you believe that a god actually made people from CLAY???

And that once it rained so much the whole world became FLOODED???

And that some old man outwitted all-time naturalists and managed to gather samples of EVERY LIVING LAND SPECIES in a few days, and to keep them alive for more than a MONTH in closed chambers, on a wooden piece of floating junk??????

What would have to be wrong in someone's head to actually believe all that crock??

For those who rant about my lack of faith and are concerned about the size of my dick:

Can you provide substantial evidence of your claims, or just a lame, ages-old book?

I can tell you I am God, and give you a book to prove it, but is that enough evidence? I don't think so.

Answer 1

Umm, try hell no!

Clay? Did god impregnate a kiln?

The amount of water on the planet is a constant, unless you remove it and put it in space...

The wood would have to have been incredibly seasoned hardwood because I know a few animals that would make short work of a wooden crate, especially one joined with wooden pegs! They didn't have nails back then did they? And tools to assist construction... And then there's the issue of the food chain! At months end there may be a savaged Polar Bear and a few bugs left along with millions of other species corpses! I would say Noah would also be one of those corpses.

I think the word you're looking for is gullible, or desperate (to believe that there is more to humanity than being born, doing something and then returning into the earth).

Answer 2

God doesn't ride in a sleigh. That's Santa Claus.

But, yeah. And there's ample geological evidence to suggest a massive flood that occurred very quickly. Was the basis of a college paper on which I received an A at a PUBLIC college.

So, if God can SPEAK a universe into existence, making man from spit and dirt doesn't seem to be a huge leap. Getting people like you to believe it is another story. I have nothing to lose if my faith is misplaced; on the other hand, if you're wrong, you've got bigger problems than how the earth was formed.

Answer 3

There is no scientific for the creation of the universe. Matter didn't form out of nothing by itself.

Life didn't just happen out of non-living chemicals. Scientists have been trying to create life for hundreds of years. They haven't so far, and they never will.

As far as the world being flooded, what other explanation is there for all the fossils found all over the world? They were not layed down over millions of years. They would have decomposed long before they could fossilize. They were buried rapidly in a cataclysmic event.

So, there is no scientific explanation for any of these phenomenon. The best science can come up with is the Big Bang, and evolution. And neither one are based on the Scientific Method: neither have been observed, repeated and neither theory can be falsified, because there is no scientific evidence for either situation.

Answer 4

You don't think it was all accidental, do you!

And SCIENCE by the way, say life came from MUCK. Primordial MUCK. One or more pools of icky chemicals floating on the waters or the lands that spawned RNA that spawned DNA.

See, science and religion aren't that far apart.

It's the ACCIDENTAL vs CREATIVE concepts that separate the two.

Yet science is all about a MAN or WOMAN CREATING something new with WILLFULL INTENT!

Why don't scientists just let nature do things accidentally!

Answer 5

No, I believe God BECAME the universe and life.

We hear that God is everywhere, everything, etc. Then necessarily we are all made up of his substance. It's the only substance that exists, in this view. To say that it was shaped by the will of god out of the material of his being seems to me the equivalent of saying he became the universe.

Answer 6

All of those things were stories made to describe the majesty of what people saw, without any scientific evidence, or ability. People who take the story of creation litteraly are mis informed. I do believe that everything was created in the evolution theory, however, I belive that God the being was behind all of it, orchastrating it all beautifully. I believe that humans are the most complex when it comes to emotions as well as the brain, and because of that, we have become the dominant species to our knowledge.

Answer 7

But you believe that the universe was just there. And ops, it popped out of nowhere. Then you believe that there was a BANG and life was created out of nowhere. And you believe that our astronomically complex universe, ecosystem, bodies, etc.. were acidentally created? Come on, how can you really be that blind to believe that this all happend by accident?

Oh and you believe that some old man could explain how all this happend by accident by spending a few months on some remote tropical island.

Answer 8

As for the main question, sure, why not. It simply makes no difference one way or another whether we argue that "God created the universe" or not. The statement doesn't actually mean anything. "God" is admittedly unprovable, unquantifiable, etc; so the subject of our sentence carries no intellectual meaning. Most "religious" people will concede this - God is beyond rational apprehension, etc. But when they proceed to speak of their emotional conviction that God created the universe as if it's a fact of the same order as "Water boils at 100 degrees C," they're out of line.

That's the mentality that leads people to believe in the rest of the biblical fables you've mentioned. It goes without saying that people who take these things seriously - "literally" as they imagine - are intellectually nonexistant.

Answer 9

Seriously?

Yes, I do believe those things, although I disagree with your characterization of Noah's ark as a piece of floating junk. It was really quite a marvel for its time and God instructed him as how to build it.

It's not "something wrong in someone's head" to accept certain things on faith.

Faith is a gift that God gives to us. Perhaps you should be more humble and ask for this gift.

God bless you.
