you seem to accept your own creaturely existence while denying a self existent personal creator God. Obviously. If that is so, how do you explain the former without the reality of the later? I would be very interested to hear how you are so sure that there must have been a God for organisms to have evolved. That sort of logic has a major trap - if measly Carbon-based organisms like ourselved cannot possibly have come into being without the intervention of some higher being, then God must have been created as well. And so it goes. By the way, I don't know if you noticed, but about six months ago, scientists created a virus from mail-order DNA parts: news.bbc.co.uk If a virus can be assembled from DNA parts, so can all animals/plants/etc. You see, no God needs to breathe life into a human for its "creation". Have you observed spontaneous generation of mater out of nothing lately I haven't. But many scientists have. Maybe someone else here can explain this better, but it is no secret that matter IS "generated simultaneously" in vacuum - matter equals energy, you know, in E=mC^2. Try reading Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" - written some years ago, but still a classic and a great explanation for laymen like us. ...or do you believe the universe is eternal and self existent No. Is this a rhetorical question? <g> Background radiation gives an estimated time for the beginning of our Universe, called "Big Bang". If you want to believe a God was responsible for Big Bang, be my guest. I just don't see any proof. It seems to me that if God as defined does not exist then the options are rather limited and completely unscientific. No? No.
