The idea that God took 16 billion years (from our space/time perspective) to create everything we see, and that we are so magnificently made that we can understand the processes by which He created it, doesn’t diminish God. It MAGNIFIES God.
The idea that He snapped His fingers and it all sprang into being fully formed (except for the bits Satan sprinkled in to deceive us), that diminishes God.
“Connecting the dots fancifully.”
Things that make me go hhhhmmmm...
6 days to create the Earth and Universe magnifies God far beyond anything man can conceive. We are not equals with God so who are you kidding about who is being magnified.
There are plenty of past and present scientists who don’t put any faith whatsoever in evolution. To trust it while poo pooing creation shows just how little you have studied both sides of this argument. Course you seem to prefer this self-deception allowing you to have a god in the image of your choosing rather than the God of the Bible who does not lie nor sin. There is more evidence for creation if you are willing to study the other side of this argument.
