An unintelligent space slug can not possibly create a huge and complex universe with intelligent life in it.
(Don't get excited Pinky, I didn't say that you are intelligent )

Have you ever seen a donkey give birth to a human being?
So a slug will give birth to a similar slug not to a human being.    

Failed analogy mate.  

Then why aren't I a god or a demigod? 

(Well my world begins and ends with my consciousness and what I perceive, and I am the one who has primary control over my little universe I live in, so I suppose in that way I am God...of myself. But I still have yet to be able to make monkeys come out of people's butts, so I am not GOD.)

But you see the point. They just really needed to add the "He made us in his image" bit to make us feel oh so special!

Easy answer Agon.

Put in this way.
A seed will turn into a perfect copy of the plant or tree that create it in the first place.

Evolution of the consciousness can be compared to a seed that turn into a plant that is why it is said that we are the image of God.
The only difference between you or me and God is that our seed (consciousness in this case) hasn't yet become God because our individual evolution hasn't yet reach the final point better known as human emancipation.

Atheists, materialists and religious fanatics don't make their own evolution easy.
Instead of shorten the time that it takes to reach the final stage they extend the time more and more.  

Smart people know what evolution is all about.
Idiots on the other end think that evolution is only a physical change and forget the most important part of the evolution which is the evolution of the consciousness.

The time will tell you who is the smart one and who is the fool.  

The day you will leave your physical body and merge into the outside dimension waiting for the next reincarnation you will be very very sorry for wasting your time in this life chasing a world of fantasies.

There will not be any physical hell to torture you but there will be your own mental hell       for missing a golden opportunity to get closer and closer to the real McCoy.
A failed life to put it short especially when you will see LR and other getting closer to the real McCoy while you will have to start all over once again.

If someone bound you gagged you and dump you in a freight wagons it will be very hard to know where you are going but if you on your free will decide to travel to Paris then is obvious that you feel your goal within.  

Rik, intelligence is NOT required for evolution to occur anymore than Thor is needed as a gap answer to explain the existence of lightening. Just like you accept, and rightfully so, Poseidon is not needed as a gap answer to explain the existence of hurricanes.

The problem you have with "everything has a creator" causes the problem of infinite regress when you postulate an all powerful cognition as the factory boss. Well, if everything has a creator, then that creator has an even more infinitely complex creator, and that creator has even more complexity, and that creator even more, and so on and so on and so on.

So if you want to claim your God was not created, then the more simplistic solution to the universe is that it doesn't need a cognition to lead to it either.

But please spare us from trying to square an old book of mythology to modern science. That was then, this is now. It was understandable that people wrote, sold and bought that crap back then because they didn't know any better, we do know better now.


What would be so frightening to you to find out you are finite? How would life after you die feel any differently than you felt 4 billion years ago?

You forgot something Brian.

Humans only got a uni dimension mind which is only capable of doing or thinking at one thing at the time.
With such small mind fools think that they can understand how the whole system works or how God that is not bound by a uni dimension mind works.

Fools never think that God has a MULTI dimension mind capable of doing things that we can not even comprehend.

Um couldn't god reveal himself regardless? If he's so superior wouldn't that in a way make it easier to prove his existence?

Like if someone wants to prove a computer program can do something and I say "no way" someone just needs to show it doing that thing. They don't have to teach me coding and logic to do that.

I'm not sure that I get the reference but I dig what you're saying man, pass the bong

Lol I'm not high, I have it naturally. But, enjoy.

Was vaping weed last night and chatting to my husband about the Pangaea continent led to a really interesting realisation about my AI. Wrote it all down today and it still makes sense!

Reed wocks! (or something like that)

The free will allow you to decide what to do with your life.
If you like to float in a sea of fantasies and materialism then why God should interfere with your decision?

Of course God show to anyone who is really interested in Him.
But to be really interested it also involve that you can not keep your mind in different places.

A jealous lover will not put up with other lovers or with partial love.

So your god is a jealous god is it? I find it interesting how a lot of devout christians ascribe negative human traits like hate while saying at the time how their god is perfect.

Conversely, I won't have a lover that hasn't been shown to exist..
Wait, I'm making it more weird. Oh well I'll roll with it.

It is all individual Lad.
The fact that hasn't show to you doesn't mean that doesn't show to others.

Beside why God should show to someone who doubt his existence?
