I choose to believe that everything came from Something.

But what did that Something come from then ?

If you say that Something is God, why not say that something is the universe and it has always been, possible expanding and contracting, forever and ever and ever... ?

Are you kidding me? You're trying to impose God-like characters on the Universe.

Why wouldn't I ? How is your theory of a God better than mine of an Eternal universe ?

Seriously, i can see the universe, or at least part of, God has yet to reveal Himself...

I think you may be on to something doc. One more step and you may see what I see! And, if you look in the right places, maybe God will reveal Himself to you.

BTW, thank you for playing this game with me. I'm trying to answer all posts necessary, between work, home, family. I hope I do not sound abrasive in any of my posts, so please do not take offense.

Happy posting!

It's our pleasure, Crossroads, and you're being a very good sport.

Why is it always creationists, though? Why can't we get a Flat Earther or a Geocentrist in here sometime?

Actually, that's survival of the fittest, the natural progression of nature.

Yes, that is why I am a creationist.
