I think the problem is that *you* guys think that God designed a static, unchanging universe. Such thinking in past centuries has lead to the following erroneous thinking/conclusions: "Flat Earth", "Our World is the Center of the Universe".

No, I don't think He created a static, unchanging universe. There are too many examples against that. But I also don't believe He created a "soup" and let life "evolve" as it may. I believe He created each species pretty much as it appears today (or until they went extinct), and that there are lots of examples within the species of changes. However, at no time, ever, did one species become another.

I'll bet you also believe in pre-destination, too - and NOT free will as described in the Bible ...

Drop in on the Calvinism discussion and look for my posts. You lose.

Caught you!

So the universe (which our world is part of!) may be taken as fixed - unchanging!

I assert that there are certain fixed aspects to the universe -

- like The Law of Conservation of Energy which states:

"Energy may neither be created nor destroyed."

Since matter really *is* energy - we have reached an absolute and unchanging waypoint.

I also assert that God assembled and created the 'set of rules' by which energy became matter - THIS, my friend, is INTELLIGENT DESIGN.

Most of you guys just set your sights WAY too low ...

You seem to believe in what must be a 'simple god' -

- whereas I believe in an infinite and POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING God with limitless ability ...
