[Oberon]

If only we can invent a genesis that does not involve accountability to an omnipotent, omniscient, moral creator, then we can live as we like. This is why John Lennon wrote his song, "Imagine".

It nevertheless escapes me how expanding our understanding of the physical processes of this world somehow impacts the premise that there is a Creator.

Because for some it is “magic” or NOTHING.

Unless God created the world using magical mystical miraculous means - they think there is no need for a God if God used the natural laws HE designed to carry it out.

The Bible says that I am formed “from dust” and “to dust” I will return. I was also formed via cellular processes involving DNA. Was my creation “from dust” less literal than the creation of Adam “from dust”, or is it possible that cellular processes involving DNA were also involved in the creation of Adam?
