Agnostics and Aethists are happy to say "I dont' know what created our universe". Science will probably explain it some day. You know like lightning (Not Zeus bolt) or disease (Not an angry demon inside you), etc, etc.



So you claim it is more rational to say "God, and only my God, not any of the other gods worshiped by billions of people, created the universe." Instead of saying "We don't know the answer yet"

Who is being rational?



Try to imagine infinite.
(hint: you can't, it is beyond human comprehension)

Being that time was not created until the universe was created, is it possible that the Universe always existed? Espeically if you consider that it was outside of Time.

I will assume you are aware that Human understanding of physics and quantom mechanics do not explain the earliest moments of the Big Bang.

We are still perfecting math or arriving at more true math all the time.
The new collider will tell us even more.

One big difference between math and your "god".
If in math we discover something new. No harm no foul. We adjust Math to fit "truth".

Where new "truth" DESTROYS god. Don't believe me? Look for the Zeus worshippers. They were destroyed by better "truths"



Yes. Math people and non-religious people say "I don't know"
You say "I know."

Is there any doubt that you are the arrogant know-it-all?



Go back 3000 years and insert this:

Taking the miracles of our [Sun] for granted and instead wanting [the magic chariot] as proof of Apollos existence.



Who said it was easy?
You did. You said "god made it" Wow what an easy solution.

Lets try this:
Go back 600 years -
Tell you what, go create a [cure for the plague] if you think it's so easy.

Lots of people thought it was God making them sick for being bad worshippers. Turns out, it was a disease spread by fleas on rats.

Religion wrong again!

P.S. *SWOOSH*
Science will not be the salvation for humanity.

However, you are voluntarily putting yourself in place as his public relations firm. Perhaps you should consider how he might want to be represented, since he seems silent on the matter.

Christianity defined:

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


Nothing in there about telling someone to go play in traffic won't get me to heaven.

Nice try though.

Typed the man sitting behind his human-created computer, passing words along a humanly-created internet connection, from inside his air conditioned (also human-invented) house (built by humans). This man was vaccinated, as a baby and a toddler, using human-created vaccines that prevented him from developing a host of ailments that used to routinely kill human babies before the age of three. He benefits from (human-created) indoor plumbing that spares him the ignomity of typhoid fever. If he gets sick or has an injury, he will drive his human-created car to the human-built hospital, where he will receive human-created measures that are likely to save his life.

Yeah.

I believe him.

Quote:
Matthew 5:39-48

"But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
You are voluntarily setting yourself up as a spokesperson for God. God has high standards for such people. Far better to keep your faith to yourself than to bring God into ill-repute.

p.s. Never cross swords in a bible verse contest with a former sunday school teacher.
