We don't have living examples of dinosaurs but that doesn't stop us approximating how they might look and act.


If we assume that God created the universe/ was the instigator/ first cause... then all that could emanate from God is part of God. In this assumption, God is in everything and is everywhere (the Christian viewpoint). You assume not, I assume so. You cannot categorically say that I am wrong, therefore everything existent could be part of God and evidence.

You cannot know, and neither can I.

Yes Frodo, If we assume that God created the universe.

There is no evidence that this is the case and pointing at the universe and saying that it is

the evidence is not convincing, not of Abrahams God anyway.

Can you entertain the idea of a first cause that is not biblical?
