Is it literally, by calculation, logic, or rationale, impossible for A Creator to exist?

Are the laws ineffective, worldwide?

First you have to have a creation. Is the Big Bang the creation? Scientists have stated that the Big Bang doesn't need a creator. I read the book The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, and they cover the point about the Big Bang does not needing a creator. So, what other creation would need a creator? Evolution?

The idea of omnipotence is true about nature, but as an asymptotic terminal point in a positive or negative correlated graphical hierarchy of intelligent life/dimensional complexity.

How can a scientist say what does, and doesn't need A Creator? Have either of the authors you mentioned ever created anything in their lives?

Evolution is more like the product of denial with the purpose to satisfy materialistic persons. Men didn't even create the organisms they research to come up with that nonsense, therefore evolution isn't worthy of being classified with creation.

Well you would have to read the book. Also, I don't think evolution qualifies as a creation. But it is in not way a denial of anything.

I'm asking for you to give me a creation. To be honest, I don't believe in a creation. Therefore there cannot be a creator if there is not creation.

...Neither of the authors have created anything, so there's no need to waste time reading about their speculation. Evolution definitely doesn't qualify for creation, I agree with you. However, evolution is a theory that steers away from animals and humans being created separately (denial), and instead lumps them together with the goal to justify claims of origin by mere similarities.

I can't give you a creation. Why don't you believe in a creation? Are you yourself not a creation? What about your flesh, blood, muscle, bone...were organic materials not created?

Rather someone has or has not created anything is irrelevant. It leads to an ambiguous conclusion. It may or may not be possible to create.

Humans are animals. To say that they are not is denial. But again this is irrelevant to the topic.

I was created by my parents, but I know you are not talking about that kind of creation. You are talking about creating something from nothing. I personally believe that nothing can never exist for something to come from. Therefore, the universe is eternal. It simply changes over time, like the big bang. That is why I do not believe in a creation.

Jynocidus
Irrelevant to who? The Bible says that a sentient intelligence identified / accepted to be God made the heavens and the earth. So, I must ask about this presumed conclusion. Would it be selective, ambiguous, or a logical and sound conclusion? If it's not God....surely we would keep going with...a no limits fallacy? Where does it stop?

Humans are like animals, being material beings. Again, irrelevant to who though? The Bible says animals came first, then man. So how do we have a common ancestor, to have evolved from? Which one is fiction, The Bible or Evolution? I guess biologists want the building blocks, to make plants and animals artificially or something.

You were produced by your parents because even they aren't capable of creation. To say your parents didn't produce you is denial. It's relevant, because it correlates with events spoken of in that book.

If I'm not mistaken, there are some physicists that believe in "nothing," and speculate that it's unstable, always able to make "something" in regards to the universe's origins. How come "nothing" can be defined, or speculated about, if it doesn't exist? How can't you believe in something that is a recognizable value? Is it because it's invisible to you?

Well the bible is a mix of many books. Most of them are fictional stories, but there are books that talk about factual things, like how the Jewish people worshiped.

The creation story is just a story. We know that the Earth is much older then 6,000 years, and there in no way the human race could have come from two people. Adam and Eve's children would have had to merry each other, and that inbreeding would have killed all humans long ago.

Really? What books did the Bible take from?

How can we be so sure the Earth is much older than 6,000 years? Is it because of geologists looking at rocks, studying their formations and compositions and how elements are able to effect them over time? Fossil evidence? Carbon dating?

Just wondering...because the book says there is a being that can make heavens, and the earth in 7 days. I don't see why he couldn't make mountains and canyons any less astonishing as to baffle those who wonder about their origins.

Humans starting from 2 people is an interpretation. Regardless, if the Earth is older than 6,000 years....how long did it take humans to recognize each other as "equals?" Like...how come at one time, we apparently evolved from a common ancestor and were friends. A few thousand years later, we forgot? Had to re-establish it?

When we came from this common ancestor, were we adults or infants?

Existence of the universe does not prove that there is a creator, in particular since there are many other, and some more plausible, explanations put forth as well.

Evolution theory seems plausible because there is thought and work behind it.

Creation consist of nothing more than belief without proof. ie "The Universe exist, therefore a creator had to have created it."

They're also not really opposed. One can both have creation and evolution theory.

Although I don't have the capability to provide that, no other mortal does either. At the same time, it says that it's not time to see him yet in this supposedly fictional book.

Wow, a Creator that literally can't be mocked in any way. Is that a way to accept him? Do you think people would use photoshop on his images to disgrace someone that powerful if I posted for access?

Thought and work? More thought and work than engineering light, matter, stars, and galaxies? And other cool stuff?

I disagree. I haven't seen a human capable of creation to this day, they can't even create other humans.

According to this fictional book...men did not physiologically evolve...or...mutate...from animals. Although taking the book as fictional in worst case scenario, you could say a creator was responsible for this...evolution. Then you'd have to make your own story to support it, using things already of existence.

Why would a God care about being mocked or not? I would think a God that created everything would be above having his feeling hurt, or getting mad.

Well, we know humans have worked on Evolution theory. Which was the point.

Odd. Very odd statement.

Not sure what you're going on about. But Evolution theory and Creation can exist together, you don't have to be: "it has to be one or the other". Which was my point.

Looking around us only proves that there is something that exists. It doesn't prove that it had a creation. The energy that makes up all of the universe cannot be created of destroyed only changed.

Please provide proof of a creation.

I didn't know we were debating. All you did was successfully drag me off topic. So let me present you with the question again.

What exactly is so fictional about the bible? What's so special about any doubt you may have, that should sway people that this story (never happened / is over and should only be used for such and such / completely disregarded / written off / etc) ?

Where do you get the idea that he has doubt. I can't speak for NemeBro, but I have no doubt. I know the bible is a collection of fictional stories mixed with governmental documents that describe how the Hebrews lived and worshiped.

Well, the compilation that I have access to says somewhere to let it be true, and let every man be a liar...

Do you take everything the government says to be absolute, or a book that's been around for ages? There's other people besides Hebrews portrayed in the book also.

The bible is wrong. Also, to try and prove the bible true by using the bible as evidence is circular logic, and that proves nothing.

I am not a Biblical scholar, so it's hard for me to point out what is and is not fictional within.

I can however say that all evidence dictates that the Earth took far longer than six days to create, for example, so that story is probably fictional. thumb up

Nothing is special about it. If you choose to believe that the universe was "created", be it by God or not, hey man that's good for you. Just don't expect everyone to buy what you're selling. thumb up

1. The human race could not have come from just two people. Their children would have had to merry each other, and inbreeding would have killed off the human race long ago.

2. Snake do not talk. The talking snake is a personification, and that proves the story as fiction and not real.

Now we are talking about interpretive fiction. It very well could have been, but we can only go down the road after establishing that the story is not literal.

That's not true. There are many creation stories in many different religions and cultures. Now why should I believe one over the other?

What? That is just silly. The topic is "What's so fictional about The Bible?". Well, the first thing that comes to mind about what is fiction about the bible is talking snakes. Are you going to claim that everything fictional about the bible is off limits in a thread about what is fictional about the bible?

Your responses indicate that your stance on the Bible is somehow absolute. You want answers to questions that cannot be answered, unless we think the same way. I am trying to leave you room to present something, and I won't resort to insults. I'll dismiss you as having nothing to provide but a false perspective, if nothing more.

Maybe you should present some of these documents in an effort to impress me. We both have access to the Bible apparently. Maybe what you have read somehow discounts creation entirely, who knows.

I see, math is not something you believe in? It just is, is that right? Evolution is the same way. The controversy is what is the underlying mechanism of evolution.

If you don't believe in evolution, I guess you don't believe in DNA, heredity, or forensic evidence. I guess DNA evidence is also a trick by non-believers, right?

I'm not going to look at a video.

IF you want to know more about pure math, this is an easy place to start.

But I don't care if you read it. I have already shown that at least one small part of the bible is fiction.

The discovery of DNA has done a lot to prove that evolution by natural selection is correct.

Nothing is special about it. People wonder what nothing is, did you know that? Nothing isn't a creation, though? Only to a creator, but...one day you'll see. reading

You are no longer needed here. Go "troll" elsewhere laughing That's nice. You're still wrong though. thumb up

Most of what is taking place here is not nonsensical.
However, it requires some background knowledge to understand.

For starters, there is something called the Fallacy of Equivocation being used by both sides here. And they probably don't know it.

What that means is they are using words that have multiple definitions, "evolve" and "math" for starters, and using DIFFERENT definitions from what their opponent is using. So they're actually talking about different subjects. The conversation cannot really develop with any significant meaning until they agree on one thing, and exactly one thing as their topic, and choose the SAME topic and discuss that.

They can move on to other topics after that, and NEED to in order to have a conversation that actually goes somewhere in this thread, but they need to start on exactly ONE subject first, and it has to be the SAME thing they're talking about.

In fact, he even made it a point to say that he, unlike Shake, wouldn't be resorting to insults.

I think that bluewaterrider is a liar. That is not an insult or personal attack. I've seen him lei about me before. He lied, telling people that I had JIA banned, even after the person who reported JIA came forward and took credit (blame). I wouldn't believe him.

No, I said the bible was a collection of stories mixed with Hebrew governmental documents.

That is not Star Wars. It could be like a collection of books with an abridged version of Star Wars in the collection.

If I told people that you had JIA reported and banned, you should have very little trouble quoting exactly where I said that.


Then again, if you can type that you think I am a liar and say that is NOT an insult or a personal attack, you may well wrongly believe it is impossible for you TO insult or personally attack a person.
