Again, we don't know where our universe ultimately came from. I can say "we don't know" and still know that you, personally, are incorrect in your beliefs about its origins if they are in any way based off of the biblical account. Genesis is not, by many christian interpretations, or by the weight of the evidence available to us, an account of material creation. Being unable to pin down the specifics of any given event does not preclude us from being able to whittle down the list of things that it is not. For example, we know that there was a massive extinction event during the Holocene epoch. We don't know exactly what caused it, but we are fairly certain that it was not nuclear weapons. Again, if you know the origins of our universe in better detail than our current understanding, go claim your Nobel Prize. Nothing irritates me more than people claiming knowledge of things they have absolutely no knowledge of. It's deceitful.
Two responses arguing about evidence, rather than presenting any. Typical. Do I need to make special rules about evidence before any evidence for god can materialize? I won't, and you shouldn't either.
Perhaps you didn't understand my request. If "goddidit" has explanatory power, it should be easy to elaborate upon the proposition. Unless you were talking out of your ass. And here I see you doing it again. God doesn't account for any of those things, you simply believe that he does. UNLESS YOU HAVE EVIDENCE.
You could have addressed it, you didn't.
Hahaha, I get to toss out that favorite amongst apologists. It doesn't matter how god could have done it. He clearly did it in the manner for which we have mountains of evidence. To argue otherwise is to argue for Loki, not Yahweh. If, if, if, if. Good thing the universe is billions of years old then, eh? Perhaps you should have said "I don't believe in science" rather than "science cannot explain". That would have been a more accurate description of the situation. It would also have prevented the embarrassing episode whereby I linked you to something that science could indeed explain, that you were simply ignorant of.
Evidence for god? Evidence for cosmic judgement? Evidence for eternal life? Evidence for Christ? Evidence for creation? Evidence for "spirit"? So, again, bullshit (unless you're actually going to provide evidence for any of this, instead of blustering around like a child caught in a lie).
