This Video may provide some enlightenment to this age old question:
Frightened, fragile, superstitious, manipulative men created all the gods. All of them.
Man created god.
Or not.This Video may provide some enlightenment to this age old question:
Any of those God's get humiliated, and crucifide and we set our history when around they were born?Man has created several gods or other higher powers/forces. Most accompanied by human ‘representatives’ said to be necessary because God said so.
Pay the lord, but use my account.

Have you ever expressed YOUR own ideas regarding Evolution, or how life originated, and the Big Bag Theory. I'd love to hear you chatter on and on that subject. You seem to get annoyed when Christians post anything that may assist in any discussion you don't agree with, but I highly doubt that you'd be so willing to present the topic of evolution, etc., in your own words. No one is suggesting you need to sit through anything for an hour at a time. You may always come back to a video and resume where you left off. One can presume that you don't tell a science instructor what to do and that he maybe wasting your precious time........ Get over yourself.Or not.
Shall I assume you're unable, or unwilling, to express your own ideas on this issue? Many here on DP aren't willing to simply sit through anyone's video link without some idea about content and length.
Could you summarize?

The question is unanswerable. Assuming a being with the ability to create a universe ex nihilio, we have no context to begin understanding anything about it.
Oh, it doesn’t have to be made up: we just have no way to distinguish between genuine knowledge or divine inspiration and invention or delusion.That is why everything about gods has to be made up.
Oh, it doesn’t have to be made up: we just have no way to distinguish between genuine knowledge or divine inspiration and invention or delusion.
Meaning: even if there is a god AND at least one person does have genuine knowledge of that god and its properties, there is no way for anyone (including the person him/herself) to verify it.
My stance is that since we would not be able to tell the difference between a universe with a god and one without, then there is no reason to think there are any.
We have J E S U S.The question is unanswerable. Assuming a being with the ability to create a universe ex nihilio, we have no context to begin understanding anything about it.
But we do. Christians have the Bible. Is the history found within it true? We have been able to verify some things (if not many). Are there prophetic messages that are coming to fruition? Why yes there are ---- and that is want makes the BIBLE so credible. Have scientists created biological life from dust? Why no that does seem impossible, and it also seems that while we may grow crops in moon dirt --- we had to bring it back and plant the seeds on earth. And finally, are there people around who seem much nicer whose only claim to fame is that they are PROFESSING Christians (not mere church attenders)?Oh, it doesn’t have to be made up: we just have no way to distinguish between genuine knowledge or divine inspiration and invention or delusion.

That's nice. Prove it!Who created God? Nobody, God has always been. We exist within God and God exists within Us.
Who was human (with different theories of type and degree of divinity). Doesn’t help with understanding the true perspective of a universe-creating being.We have J E S U S.
On evolution, there's no debate about it in my mind. It has been demonstrated countless times, it's postulates tested and proven, and its dynamics continue to be reaffirmed with newer technology that was unheard of in Darwin's day. It meets all the rigors applied to scientific inquiry.Have you ever expressed YOUR own ideas regarding Evolution, or how life originated, and the Big Bag Theory.
No - you would not.I'd love to hear you chatter on and on that subject.
This assumes facts not in evidence.You seem to get annoyed when Christians post anything that may assist in any discussion you don't agree with, but I highly doubt that you'd be so willing to present the topic of evolution, etc., in your own words.
If you can't even summarize the content of the video you posted, I don't know why anyone would bother to watch it. If it's nothing more than creationist proselytizing, then just say so an spare us all the waste of time.No one is suggesting you need to sit through anything f aaor an hour at a time. You may always come back to a video and resume where you left off.
So that's who you're comparing yourself to?One can presume that you don't tell a science instructor what to do and that he maybe wasting your precious time........
Given the preceding sentence, you should look in the mirror.Get over yourself.

GOD existed before time. Without time a second is a trillion years and a trillion years is not even a I mean even when nanosecond. GOD just is and likely exists outside our dimension. GOD is so far beyond us, it would be even more complex than comparing an ameba to a human. I mean even when scientists talk about the Universe being BILLION of years old ---- how really comprehendible is that to anyone. How does one compare that to a human lifetime of even 100 years? Even with Methuselah living 900 years dwarfs to nothingness when one considers billions of years. There are some things that I believe even in heaven we will never know most of what God knows come 100 trillion years...Who was human (with different theories of type and degree of divinity). Doesn’t help with understanding the true perspective of a universe-creating being.
HOW did God create the universe? WHAT was God’s existence before the universe…what does existence outside space and time even mean? We do not have even the most basic concepts to answer these and many other questions.
We all are evidence of GOD. Our very existence is evidence of GOD. Answers to prayers are evidence of GOD. The MESSSIAH is evidence of GOD. The wind is evidence of GOD ------ who sees the wind? Yes, one can witness what the wind is capable of but not see it. And gravity is invisible, yet one sees its power. And there is magnetism. Who really understands its invisible power? How can people experience such things and not perceive GOD, who is the creator of it all and illustrated by it beautifully.First, you would have to show evidence of a god before jumping into how it would have got here.
That is a religious belief, not evidence. Certainly, you know that right?We all are evidence of GOD. Our very existence is evidence of GOD. Answers to prayers are evidence of GOD. The MESSSIAH is evidence of GOD. The wind is evidence of GOD ------ who sees the wind? Yes, one can witness what the wind is capable of but not see it.
