Ignorance, like intelligence, is an internal state of affairs. You strike me as someone who hasn't devoted this sort of questioning to your own beliefs.
Tell us what you know about your god. Not what you believe, not what you think you've experienced, but what we can look at with our own eyes and say, "yeah, he might be making a little sense here." Can you do that?
I doubt it ... but if you've got objective support for your god hypothesis like the abiogenesis hypotheses have support (in terms of autocatalytic reactions being observed, in terms of RNA evolution being observed), feel free to share it.
Until then, your questions, pointed as they are, seem very defensive, rather than pointed at expanding knowledge. "We don't know how life started, therefore my god started it" is not very convincing. I'd suggest you start by building your own case. And if you have no case, then at the very worst your hypothesis is no better than those you rail against, and from my own perspective much worse.
Give me evidence. Change my mind.
Now your sounding like Brian.
You both seem so sure I am here just to convert you. That everything I say comes along with an implied: "Well if you can't answer that then God must have done it." I am not and it doesn't. I doubt there is anything I could say that could change your mind anyway. So I had no intention of making the argument that you think I was making.
I do like to argue and see if people are consistent when they argue.
I hope you can accept my word for it so we can skip the: "Prove God, Prove God, etc." Every time I post something.
We know you are not here to convert us. You are actually here to convince yourself but don't realize it yet.
You simply don't like it because we are not treating your pet deity claim as any more special than anyone else with a different pet deity.
