    Well no one was there billions of billion years ago to “Observe the process” of Big Bang. So you can add energy , you can add water , you can add whatever you like to the mix to get universe created. It’s a free minded scientific process just add ANYTHING or NOTHING as long as you don’t have to come to conclusion that God created haven and earth.

    The fact that we weren't there is a major limitation.

    However, evidence of what happened is available.

    It's not a mater of "adding water" or whatever. Even by the time of the Big Bang expansion, there weren't things like water. On the other hand, it is very clear there was energy.

    You can still believe that "god did it". There isn't evidence against that possibility. However, there is evidence that Genesis is allegorical. Maybe God created an environment in which a universe such as ours would occur. Can you imagine a god being that powerful?

    My comment was a response to one thing you said, put in a way that indicates I wasn't accusing you of always hating.

    You said, "Cortez is being led by Satan."

    Surely any understanding of Satan would lead one to seeing that specific comment as coming from a position of hate.

    I would disagree with AOC here, but I understand why she is saying what she is saying. People, in general, do not want to be inundated with social issues, religious or secular. But the ads were not controversial. It was a simple message of hope and love and acceptance. Not all Christians have exhibited this, but the message was, in my view, noncontroversial.

    I said churches contribute.

    However, it is the government that is BY FAR the source of aid for the poor and infirm.

    'Super Bowl 2023: Who’s behind those ‘He Gets Us’ ads about Jesus?'

    "The organization says it is not a political organization of any kind and has no church or denominational affiliation."

    HUH?

    "He Gets Us partners include the National Association of Evangelicals and Christianity Today Magazine, Religion News Service reported."

    Churches in The United States raised $485 billion in 2020.

    Feeding people isn't the only objective.

    Churches raise more money than anyone else.

    Christians who donate to their church are more likely to donate to other causes than any other group.

    Christians donate 2.5% of their income to the church.

    The average church goer donate $44 a week.

    Christians' stats are better than Leftists' stats as far as charitable donations go.

    There can be no question that these ads came from a far right move to wrap themselves in Christianity.

    In no way does it suggest that we need to stop hating the people who ad sponsors attack.

    That is fair. Where do you stand on anti-gay laws? Oppose or support them?

    Meh, seems really hypocritical and un-Christian to sit there and talk about how awesome they are when they could spend that money on Christ-ish endeavors.

    Oppose, of course. Good thing we don't have any of those.

    Yes. Those stats do not counter what I said.

    Plus, you are dodging the fact that a good percent of those donations you claim credit for go to support of religious institutions and other activity - not those who need food and housing.

    Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

    I don't oppose that.

    But, the SB ads had very serious problems, some of which AOC pointed out.

    The overall message is NOT that we should love one another such as what Jesus preached. And, the message came from those who promote laws targeting individuals and their lives when their actions don't have negative affects.
