You say you believe in God.
Can you explain logically how such an omnipotent Being could be limited in His ability to create anything in a *poof* if He wanted?
I don't believe that God couldn't have done it all in a “poof” last Thursday, but the evidence doesn't support such, and such is an idea without any applicability; it is an intellectual dead end that leads to no further data or discovery.
It may well be true. But it isn't productive, and all the evidence says it is NOT true.
But to me it is a far grander view of God that set in motion all things to unfold according to a self consistent and understandable plan, working with the natural forces and natural laws that God created.
But once again, my own preference is immaterial. One is a productive idea that is scientific and leads to further scientific data and discovery, and the other is not.
The Bible says the Heavens proclaim the glory of God. Their immensity and vast age do indeed speak of the immensity of the Creator of all.
But to a “poof” creationist is has to all be trickery and a lie, starlight showing the death of stars that never actually existed within the last few thousand years.
So once again with personal preference, it seems not only a useless idea, but a foolish one.
