Do you believe in a God powerful enough to generate the fullness of the Universe, entirely from His will?

I do not subscribe to a flat-earth society. I beleive God CREATED what we have. IMHO, Evolution as a philosophy is trying to scientifically describe the things we see around us, and then trying to convince us that there is no God...

I have faith in gravity. I have faith in Math. I have faith in thermodynamics. I have faith in Astronomy. I have faith in many of the sciences. I see their validity being proved when I see a live picture from the surface of Mars. I see the study of the earth benefiting us in untold ways.

But, to every man is given but one opportunity to live here on earth. We have only one chance to get things right. I guess you could spend your time gazing at stars, but you better make sure of Whom, or what, you believe put them there!

I'm not going to argue theology here. I am arguing for my faith. I don't feel TOE devotees have the soap box to themselves, and I am more than willing to knock them out of the way, whenever I want to speak. We do have that RIGHT, don't we? Or, is it just that you don't want to hear about God?

I started into this thread with some posts from the founding documents. They still have effect today! Read them again, if you disagree, THEN get back to me...

Tagline applies!

My dog, Spot!

Sure. He could have created it exactly as we see it today. The testament of the evidence we find in his creation says he didn't. This is not a disagreement over beliefs about what God could have done, but a disagreement over beliefs about the specifics of exactly what he did, how he did it, and how long it took.

OK, that's your opinion. Are you willing to submit that opinion to a critical examination in a purely theological context, and in purely theological terms?

If I simply disagree with the context you're trying to put them in, can I just tell you that now?
