Don't you believe that only God could predict earthquakes in the world, which He does in the Bible, before there were scientists who sought out the answers on this? And how could God know this? Because he was the author of the earth and put the plates together.
To compare scientific discoveries by man to what God can and has done is just plain assinic. There is only one God who created this earth and everything in it. I believe in the God who can and does all things.
So, could not God have created us through evolution?
That is such a facile answer.
Why would the Bible tell us that the Earth and the Universe are only 5,000 or 6,000 years old, yet we have evidence that the Universe and the Earth are considerably older? There are stars out there whose light takes more than 5,000 thousand years to get here. How do you explain that?
If the continents never moved from where they are now, how do you explain tropical fossils in the Antarctic and marine fossils in Wyoming? I have asked these questions several times now, and all the creationists ignore them. I can't imagine why.
Or can I?
If, as you state, your answer to everything really is "God did it," then how can you possibly say that God is not trying to play tricks on us by doing things that make us think that these things are different than from what Scripture tells us? Why would God waste His time playing tricks on us? It sounds awfully petty to me. God isn't petty. He isn't whimsical and He isn't capricious. It seems to me that God has better things to do than play tricks on us poor humans.
To say "God did it" as the answer to everything shows a real lack of intellectual curiosity. God created birds as the only creatures that fly. Do you fly in airplanes? Christ never saw an internal combustion engine. Do you drive?
Don't you creationists ever wonder about anything? Don't you ever spend time pondering the mysteries of the universe? It seems to me that life as a creationist would be rather dull if the answer to everything is "God did it." Aren't you even the slightest bit curious as to HOW or WHY He did it? That's what science attempts to do -- to discover and understand the HOW and the WHY.
I was trained as a librarian. My life has been spent finding answers. "Just because" wasn't a satisfactory answer for me as a child, and it still isn't as an adult. Having you tell me "God did it" is, as far as I am concerned, the same as my parents telling me "just because." It didn't work 40 years ago, and it doesn't work now. It's not an answer. It's a catchall excuse for not trying to find (or not wanting to find) an answer.
In the final analysis, I believe that God gave me a brain and that He wants me to use it. I cannot for an instant believe that God wants me to walk through life like a zombie, not wanting to understand the world around me. To me, that would be stultifying.
