Why do you insist on putting limits on G_d?

OK, I'll bite. What limits am I putting on G_d? Is it because I take His Word concerning origins literally? For those who feel that G_d can't possibly create the universe within a week's time and therefore declare by fiat that Genesis 1-11 is something other than truth, what is the explanation for Exodus 20 where the basis for establishing a Sabbath Day of rest was modelled off the belief that Gen 1-11 was true? For those who believe the NT (or certain portions of it) as truth, why is it that Jesus Christ Himself can believe in a Genesis 1-11 as literal and true but to those who doubt G_d's power say that G_d had to use death and carnage for hundreds of millions of years before He could actually mutate man into existance?

He is all powerful, not you.

And your point would be...? (who around here is saying that they are as/more powerful that G_d? Are you hearing voices in your head?)

So why are you so certain that when G_d created the world, he didn't create it with all the geologic and fossil evidence in it? I have always wondered why creationists have been willing to go to great leaps of conspiracy theories to explain the existing evidence rather than accept this one simple notion.

If G_d created the world, he could have created it as we find it, or the fossils and geologic evidence could simply be remnants of his creation process in 6 days. Why are you unwilling to accept that as a possibility? I see no contradiction between it and the Bible accounts. No where does the Bible say that it is telling us everything.

It appears to me that you are limiting G_d by limiting his actions to those specificly mentioned in the Bible, that is how you are limiting him!
