If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

The rational approach is to consider the problem full on without forcing an irrational conclusion.

Creation looks after itself. God does or doesn't explain that. <--- there's your rational position Wink

The problem with the model you've adopted is that it's not even a model at all. You're essentially just shouting "MAGIC!" at the very real questions of origins until people give up their illusions that you might have an actual contribution to make.

And of course, even though god doesn't answer a single question or provide any explanatory power at all, it does seem to be an answer, to the intellectually incurious. Why? Because magic works as an excuse for anything. It's just a shortcut.
