- I find it strange that The almighty, all powerful, everlasting God would create the universe ... and then spend the rest of his time sitting on his ass for all eternity doing nothing -

“Your insights go way above my paygrade. Would you care to back that up? That is, give positive evidence to back up your assertion.”

Do you mean my implying that after seven days of intense effort, God suddenly calls it quits and becomes a cosmic couch potato? Isn’t that essentially what creationists believe - that after creating the universe, God just ups and calls it quits?

Not much of a God if you ask me.

If you are suggesting that I favor the concept of evolution, which I do, on my part there is nothing to back up since the evidence is already in place.

The fossil record for evolution is backed up not only by empirical observations, but also by the evidence of radiometric dating and stratigraphy, that is, physics. The theory of Natural Selection, which you refer to incorrectly as “Darwinsim,” is considered to be the best explanation for what what impartial, non-biased observers see.

I hope you are aware that the concept of evolution is not Darwin’s. It was an idea that has been debated since the time of ancient Greek philosophers.

You need to also think about the fact that God, as the Creator of the universe, created the laws of physics too. Physics via various scientific disciplines, support the position that life evolves over time.

To deny evolution is to deny the physics that support it, hence denying the existence of God.

Which is why I believe in a vibrant God who is still creating via the process of evolution, both on this planet and throughout the universe, and thereby revealing his majesty to all with the insight to perceive it.
