Why won't this deity let us see these galaxies and travel to them now? Why is he holding us back? He created these things for people who won't be alive for who knows how long? Makes zero sense to me.
Quote:Where did the laws of the universe come from?
The laws of the universe simply describe the relationship of how bodies react and their effect on one another. They didn't "come from" anywhere. This is like saying "where did love come from?" and trying to credit "God" for the fact that love exists.
Quote:The fact is we actually do need these laws.
Why?
Quote: Could God have created the universe in a compeletly different way? Absolutely.
Then why didn't he? Why didn't he create a universe without intestinal parasites, killer microbes or birth defects?
Quote:Pretty much, except he created it.
Baseless assertion. Where's your evidence?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
