Creationist Theory: God created all forms of life on Earth. HOW?

Actually, I'll address this one honestly. Let us suppose that you or I decided to create "life," and that we had the wherewithal to do things like move atoms and molecules around to suit our needs. (Technology seems to be approaching this level of ability.)

Don't you believe that, with enough smarts, time, and effort, we could invent a mechanical "something" along the lines of what we now recognize as life? Well, of course we could!

And if you and I could do it, so could God -- who, as Creator of heaven and Earth, would certainly have the time, smarts, and ability to do such a thing.

IMHO this brings us to the real issue: whether or not God exists. The 6,000-year creationists are acting out on their fears that he doesn't exist, and the "evolutionary athiests" (such as Richard Dawkins) are acting out on their fears that He does.

The rest of us tend to be dragged along by one side or the other, unless we manage to pull ourselves out of that particular current. As for me, I know God exists, and He has been active in my life. Thus, although the "jots and tittles" of things like evolution vs. creation are interesting, I can't really work up a lot of passion over them.

Hunble are asking a serious question? Are you really asking how God created life?

I have a question for you, are you 10 or 11 years old?
