To me, the only kind of god that in any way gels with reality is the deistic god, it fired everything up and stood back and watched. Or got bored and left. Or died, whatever. But still, it's just a placeholder. Instead of saying "I don't know" you say "This thing did it". It offers no explanatory power, we understand things no better. It's a fairly harmless belief, though.
One thing that creationists cannot answer and I am sure it has been asked before. How did Noah take two of each animal and place them in his ark? If the bible is literally talking about all animals, then it has to be wrong. Saltwater animals cannot live in tropical waters, Marine life cannot live in Tropical waters, and freshwater cannot live in tropical water so, how on earth did Noah get around this little dilemma?
Just seen this statement posted on my facebook page from a family member on my girlfriends side of the family:
Quote:à tous ceux qui détruisent les autres, par méchanceté, par avidité, par égoisme, par vice de perversité, n'ayez crainte, la facture vous sera un jour présentée.
L'univers enregistre tout, rien ne lui échappe, ce n'est qu'une simple question de temps.
Translation:
Quote:to all those who destroy others, wickedness, greed , selfishness by , for vice perversity , fear not, the invoice will be presented one day .
The world record everything , nothing escapes him , it is only a matter of time .
Do you think it wise for me to just keep my mouth shut or just use a famous Dawkins phrase and the way it describes God to a tee?
