[But is God really a credible entity]
Well, sure. He figured out how to create the earth before Copernicus, Newton, and Darwin came along to tell Him how to do it. As a matter of fact, I question the credibility of Copernicus, Newton, and Darwin. None of them could even create a blade of grass.

You know, I've sometimes wondered: Even if Christians are right in that there is a god who revealed himself through scripture and who inspired the writers of the Bible, how do we know he's been telling the truth? How can we be sure that the god of christianity isn't just some sort of ultra-powerful Baron von Munchausen (Can someone please tell me how you actually spell his name) who needs to take credit for things he didn't do to feel like a big man. Just because a deity says he's telling the truth, doesn't mean he actually is.
"He figured out how to create the earth before Copernicus, Newton, and Darwin came along to tell Him how to do it."
Maybe I missed some of their work but I don't recall any of them writing a paper on what techniques should be applied when creating a world.
"As a matter of fact, I question the credibility of Copernicus, Newton, and Darwin."
I question the sanity of anyone who willingly chooses a user name based on one of the most moronically fictional stories in the bible.
"None of them could even create a blade of grass."
And neither could your God according to the creation stories that predate yours.
Just because I can't cast an engine block, doesn't mean I don't understand how engines work, Ass.
I've always found the story of Balaam's ass amusing. An angel of God talking out an ass. How appropriate.
Wow -- Yes, Einstein's theory of gravity differs significantly from Newton's.
Can you create a blade of grass BlatantAss?
Well, boom goes your credibility, by your own admission huh.
That means anything that you say is incredible or discredited or just lacking credibility in general.
My favorite phrase in this:
"He figured out how to create the earth "
I just imagine God sitting patiently in his laboratory, night and day, trying desperately to "figure out" the perfect forumla for earth, tossing aside one failed model after another... occasionally telling Satan to get out and quit messing with his work... until one day he finally "gets it" and creates the earth.
And then after all is said and done, Satan taints it and God has to "figure out" again how he's going to fix things... until 4000 years later he finally figures that he'll impregnate a virgin, have the child get nailed on a cross 33 years later, and accept anyone that agrees to take a shower in the child's blood.
God - Scientist.
>He figured out how to create the earth...
Prove it. And you don't get to use the Wholly Babble.
Let's see, for Newton, I'd say he did some pretty credible things. Things that we have PROVEN and VERIFIED over and over again...things that are TESTABLE...
Invented the reflecting telescope
Proposed new theory of light and color
Invented differential and integral calculus
Developed three laws of motion
Devised law of universal gravitation
Advanced early modern chemistry
Became father of modern science
What did magic sky man do that IS TESTABLE?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
