Personally, I think the world began as part of a giant disk of gas and debris swirling around the sun. Gravity, not any gods. Those would be created billions of years after the fact. Linear time and all that.(October 28, 2023 at 10:06 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Barry, who thinks that the world just happened one day? Really give this some thought.
Hi o Grand one, nice to hear from you.
God could have, or taken 14 billion years. Or one trillion trillion years. 6 in Genesis is most unlikely. Time is irrelevant to God.
How do you think it began? Really give this some thought.
The easy answer is God. But then we are answerable to a higher power. And our increasingly secular world doesn’t like that option.
Hence atheism is rife.
God bless

You seem to want to keep returning to this well of answerability to god. Are you prepared to be answerable for your god? Way I see it, whether god exists is irrelevant to me. It's you and yours that have to carry that burden. Like this burden above of complaining about secularism. The first secularists were believers. The idea that human governments should be run for people according to peoples needs and not for gods according to gods wants doesn't really have anything to do with atheism or whether gods exist. It continues to be prudent in either case. You, though, are going to end up making yourself responsible for your alleged gods alleged position on that matter. Can you sell it, or are you just going to threaten anyone who doesn't agree with something you can't explain?
