Yahweh isn't a Creator. He's a creation. A god cobbled together from ignorance and superstition so that our ancestors could explain thunder.

Pretty easy to understand in their case. Harder when a contemporary person shows up and says they didn’t believe until god granted them three wishes.
We’re all left to wonder why there’s still any homelessness or hunger or war left in the world. Did we ask the booming voice for a cheeseburger, large fries, and a coke….?

#3 seems particularly apt. When you admit to being ‘not well versed in science’ in almost the same breath as to declare physics, chemistry, and biology ‘mumbo jumbo’, that’s a VERY specialized ignorance.

How to understand curved spacetime for our smooth-brained friends.
Curved spacetime needs no space pixies to make planets orbit in an ellipse. No invisible forces needed!

Sheer assertion. Regardless of how many man-made religions exist, it's not absolute proof that every religion is man-made.

Curved space is mumbo jumbo. Please don't pretend that anyone comprehends that term.
So the shortest distance between two points is NOT a straight line? Got it.

Life is grim. Yahweh himself awakened into a very concerning, disconcerting Totality and has tried to make the best of it.
A combination of factors contribute to our present demise. I"ve hinted at some of them, maybe I'll elaborate further.
Not that it really matters. It's not like this thread will change anyone's mind.
But I suppose theodicy is a good thing.

Assuming the necessary optics are in place. Obviously Yahweh's eyes are better equipped than ours.
Stop nitpicking. Obviously the term visible is nuanced. For example, is Africa visible to me? Well not right wow, where I am sitting, but I wouldn't really describe it as an "invisible continent".
Cheap shots and nitpicking - is that really all you guys got?
All matter is visible? You’re piling silly on top of silly.
‘Visible’ means something is seen or can be seen. The distance between you and Africa is immaterial to the discussion and a very poor point. It isn’t possible to see, for example, a proton, yet protons are matter.
Cheap shots and nitpicking have worked for me my entire life, and I’m not about to change on your say-so.
You have been and remain an extraordinarily silly person.
Boru
Yahweh sees all matter. He has eyes everywhere and, on top of that, His (self-propelling, self-locomoting) Light is an ineffably more effective illumination than ordinary light.
You can dismiss that as silly if you want to. I think we both agreed already - I'm just a silly guy. Silly, silly, silly.
