When did the creation take place?

[Anomalocaris]

The sounder alternative hypothesis might be the lord is slow because he is existentially challenged, not to mention omnipotency and omnisciency challenged. So he had to wait for cevents outside his control to eventually assemble by chance such a set of condition as to be close enough to fool his followers into believing what they conceive to be his prophecies have been fulfilled.

[Paul the Human]

And after 2000 years, uncountable numbers of people have been condemned when he could have done something to prevent it. Apparently his 'patience for us' does not mean that he gives a shit.

(EDIT: Or, as Chuck pointed out... maybe he does give a shit, but can't do anything about it. But if that is the case, why call him 'God'?)

[Anomalocaris]

It's not his fault for he doesn't exist. It's the fault of those who believe in him for they do exist. And in the name of devotion they pass off responsibility for their own action onto this phantom offshore company called god.

The reason for the delay in found in 2 Peter 3:9,

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

I think the man doing my kitchen used that one last week. Been at the bloody thing since march and we still havent got doors on the cupboard

God's a slacker.

Indeed he is, wonder why we have been waiting for 2000 years for his son to come back

Yeah, however Jesus said to the audiences he preached to, that he would come back and establish the kingdom of god before they would die. Well they are long dead and the kingdom of god has not come, why is that.

Indeed and after nearly 2000 years of celebrating easter, still no sign. Christains love to embrace the quotes of their supposed god, except where it inconveniently points to that fact that its all a lie.

The Gospel of "Peter" is second century bullshit that was so fucking stupid that not even the fanatics who made up the early church could stomach it. That's why they left it out of your fucking bible.

Since the Gospel of Peter was written in the mid second century, it is not a candidate for inclusion in the New Testament. The numerous embellishments in the Gospel of Peter clearly indicate that it was composed in the second century and was not written by the apostle Peter.

Second part of the problem: "Peter" is most likely as fictitious as fucking jesus.

Are you aware that Theophilus is quoting from 2 Peter a letter supposed to be from Peter (non-evangelical scholars said it was a fake) which is in the New Testament, not the Gospel of Peter which is not in the New Testament.

[Minimalist]

No.

Although the epistle of Peter is also second century bullshit which could not have been written by any so-called apostle either. Then again, fictional characters rarely do write anything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Epis...Peter#Date

Many scholars generally consider the epistle to be written between c 100–150AD[4] and so contend that it is pseudepigraphical.

I've never seen any evidence of how old earth was. Perhaps we are in another age and the past age died off? It can't be found because time, as a definition, has changed numerous times throughout our past.
