The God of the Bible is the Creator of the heavens and the earth as stated in Scripture.
And why should I give serious consideration to some ridiculous collection of stories where the protagonist gets blindsided by a Talking Snake in chapter 3 of Genesis?
A book that describes a flood that never happened, with rains falling at the rate of 30 feet per hour -- which would have fucking demolished Noah's homemade wooden boat and killed everyone on board long before the end of the first day.
A book that describes some miracle-working preacher so awesome that he attracted massive crowds in Jerusalem -- but neither the Roman occupiers nor the local Jewish community nor any historians in the area wrote anything about him, and he only showed up in Christian writings several generations later, far away from where the Gospel events supposedly happened.
A book that describes a dragon so large that it can sweep one-third of the stars out of the sky and send them plummeting to earth. A dragon, FFS! A dragon that the Hubble Space Telescope has yet to spot, despite scanning the skies for 28 years and seeing galaxies 12 billion light-years away in the famous Hubble Deep Field images recorded in late 1995.
No, CDF, all you have there is a work of fiction that you were foolish enough to use as a cornerstone of your life. Grow up.
