And for God to be even more complex than THAT, so that he's capable of making it - that just makes God even MORE improbable Tongue

Doesn't that seem like a cop-out lol?

No, how do you really reason that through though fr0d0 (assuming you at least do in your own way, I mean?)?

Surely you don't think you can 'work it out' that easily? Tongue

We're taking the Christian Bible as limiting God rather than a glimpse of what it is if we say we're all God did. Does that make sense?

So like, to you; the bible is God's way of 'displaying himself a bit' to us mere mortals?

Something like that?

Why would God even display himself, doesn't make any sence.

However those pictures are far better then any religion in the world.
- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.

Good point. I agree.

Far far better: So far they're lightyears ahead Wink

Incredibly beautiful, astounding. Gorgeous and quite mesmerizing (at least at times).

HOLY SHET.
O___O
This made my heart go EEP!

WOW.
I mean, if we're here...and those ginourmous stars are out there, think of how insignificant we are...
Kind of reminds me of a Stephen King novel I read, and he said something about the boy finding a purple blade of grass, and we're just a molecule on that blade of grass. o_o
