Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
RE: Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.
Here's the short version of this whole thread, for people who may have just tuned in:

Creationist du jour: My magic god made the Universe because it lives in its own magic kingdom, so it's not affected by any of the laws that govern everything else.

Everyone else: Baseless assertions without even a pretence at evidence. In fact, all the evidence from observations etc show that the known physical processes are at least sufficient to have caused the Universe into being. No need to leap to a magic wizard.

Creationist: Where? Show me!

And the short, short version:

Creationist is free to ad as much hoc as he likes, with no obligation to provide any support whatsoever. Everyone else has to bring a note from home.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It does so, it has lots of them.
At least one for every universe there is.

It was extracted from the ear of a clothes peg like creature by a disgruntled meter reader.

It spontaneously came into being amongst the gook that gathered down the back of the sacred sofa.

A border collie spewed it up after eating some physics homework that disagreed with her, just to illustrate the flaw in the question.

That's the problem-- we can't come up with something absurd enough to compare.

That claim is in your court - you claim creation is real - PROVE that you can eat from ALL SEED bearing plants as said in the bible - by eating a large serving of Oleander.

IF you choose not to it will be because you know the bible story is Absurd

okay, we got a non-sequitur going here. pretty obvious the atheists are afraid that if they try to say something intelligent, i'll counter with a cogent point or completely shred it.

Only if your idea of a cogent point is a fiat assertion made without evidence. Dodgy

Yeah, because you have a real history of doing that.

Everyone couldn't possibly be staying silent because they realize talking to you is as engaging as talking to an inaminate object.

It's become clear that you gave up the fight some time ago. I suspect that, like SavedbyGrace and savedwheat, you're just going through the motions in the hopes of finally being banned so that you can avoid the apparent disgrace of leaving with your faith tucked between your legs. Good luck with that.

And exactly what were the mechanics involved in the Holy Spirit impregnating that unsuspecting virgin? Was there an orgasm (on the part of either party)? Was there penetration of some sort?

Inquiring minds want to know and theistic origin science has no answer.

Beats any of us, besides Gracie.
Maybe that's what's she's studied! AOS at PooPoo Academy for delusioned cretards! \o/

I understood it to be in contrast to Intelligent Design Science, which i relaize is not really science at all.

Don't know why, but my first reaction to the title of this thread was, "Where have all the flowers gone?" Maybe it's becaue of the circular nature of both arguments.
